Walkie-Talkie is a fun, simple way to connect with someone who has a compatible AppleWatch. Like using a real walkie-talkie, press a button to talk, and 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 is not available in all regions.
