Use Walkie-Talkie on Apple Watch

Walkie-Talkie is a fun, simple way to connect with someone who has a compatible Apple Watch. Like using a real walkie-talkie, you press a button to talk, then release to listen when you’re ready for them to reply. Walkie-Talkie requires that both participants have connectivity—through a Bluetooth connection to the iPhone, Wi-Fi, or cellular.

Note: Walkie-Talkie isn’t available in all countries or regions.

Go to the Walkie-Talkie app on your Apple Watch.
Scroll through the list of contacts, then tap a name to send an invitation.
To add another contact, tap Add Friends on the Walkie-Talkie screen, then choose a contact.

When a contact accepts the invitation, you can start a Walkie-Talkie conversation when you’re both available.
