The Apple Watch’s Walkie-Talkie mode was covertly introduced in 2018 and is a feature that is frequently overlooked. But whether your friends and family live across the room or on the other side of the world, this useful communication tool may completely change the way you remain in touch with them. This is how to make full use of it.
Uninterrupted Communication Without Limitations

Similar to the vintage walkie-talkies of the past, this software enables audio chats to take place instantly with contacts who own an Apple Watch. The finest aspect? It works seamlessly even with Wi-Fi-only models—as long as your iPhone is close by—and does not require a cellular connection.
Configuring the App for Walkie-Talkies
Make sure you satisfy the prerequisites to utilise the Walkie-Talkie mode: both you and your contact must have iPhones running iOS 12.4 or later and Apple Watches running WatchOS 5.3 or later. It only takes a minute to set up.
Launch the app and send a friend request: From the App List on your Apple Watch, select the Walkie-Talkie app. To add a contact for the first time, press “Add Friends” and choose from your contact list.
Connect with Your Contacts: Your contacts will show up on your list of friends as soon as they accept the invitation. Press their name to start a discussion. Note: Establishing a connection could take some time.
To initiate conversation, press and hold the “Touch & Hold to Talk” button while speaking into your watch. When you’re done talking, release the button. After a brief tone, your voice will be sent to the recipient’s Apple Watch.
Toggle Accessibility Options: In the Apple Watch Settings app, turn on “Tap to Talk” if you’d rather have one-tap access. This makes conversation even more convenient by enabling you to switch the microphone on and off with a single tap.
Using the Walkie-Talkie Application
Pressing the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch will exit the Walkie-Talkie app. This ensures that the programme is always operating in the background and that you are always ready for talks. If there are moments when you just want quiet, see the FAQ section for details on how to temporarily disable the app.
Discover the hidden treasure of the Apple Watch’s Walkie-Talkie mode, which is really easy to use and convenient. This tool adds a nostalgic yet contemporary touch to communication on the go, whether you’re coordinating activities at home or staying in contact during outdoor adventures.
