Step 0.5- have friends😂😮😅😢
Walkie-Talkie is an underrated feature. When you're someplace with friends or family, using this can be faster than sending an iMessage, however it has some issues too. It often takes me awhile to make a connection to the other person and fails to do so. Sometimes a reboot of the watch will fix things, other times another person must start the conversation with me for it to work. Hopefully Apple keeps working with it and make it even better.
The point of having a Walkie-Talkie is because there is no cellphone signal .
love the walkie-talkie app when it actually works. 75% of the time someone doesnt get the conversation invite or is just unavailable even tho they are. or friend invites decide not to actually send or accept the other 25% of the time.
Hey there. Thanks for reaching out. You can find information on how to troubleshoot the Walkie-Talkie app here: s.apple.com/dE0a5r6H9T

Take care.
@@applesupportthis happens to every single person I know. So much so that no one uses it even though one year it was our most looked forward to feature. Typical 2023 Apple. Cool features, that work reliably on occasion. So disappointing.
@@greysenpaigeyea it’s never worked for me either.
We’d like to help. While we’re unsure of what exactly isn’t working regarding your Apple Watch and the Workout app, if the resources in our UA-cam post haven’t helped, we’d like to continue troubleshooting this with you. You can reach us using our main support website here: apple.co/GetSupport Take care!
@@applesupport workout app? Seriously? Support is as competent as engineering now apparently. What a low bar.
why can't we just have this feature on our iPhones????
Cos that’ll be 1less reason for u to buy an Apple Watch ⌚️
cuz it’s just like calls so it would be pretty useless
@@hellokaylee2977at least it dosent cost credit
@@SupremeCyrilwho buys one for walkie talkie
can’t you just call?🤦♀️
This used to be a cool feature. Then they made it so the other person would first need to acknowledge that you're trying to send a message (the "checking availability... @ 1:04), which defeats the purpose of walkie-talkie & so might as well send a text.
I wish this worked across all Apple devices. And yeah we had issues when it first came out and stopped using it…
This would be so much more useful if it took less than 50 seconds to "check availability" and didn't incorrectly say that people aren't available.
What apple should do is only show those contacts who use Apple Watch than all contacts when selecting which ones to invite…it’s not a smooth experience from onset! Poorly designed app…
Wish I knew someone else with an Apple Watch so I could use this
I was just thinking the same thing, because I am still learning how to use it. It is a birthday present, and I love it so far, but the circle of friends that I have, don’t own a iPhone.
Funny I just started using this app again , it’s very convenient when it works but frustrating with the disconnections issues and the fact that notifications are not loud / distinct enough. I hope Apple will continue developing and improving this app , besides this recent video it seems like they have forgotten they ever made it.

It Doesn’t Work.
It takes the same amount of work to just call someone on your phone.
Mine doesn’t work at all. When I ask my contacts it doesn’t go through and vise versa. Do you have any suggestions?
I need to !
😎Walkie Talkie drains the battery of the Apple Watch sooooooo fast!!! ✌️ I have it disabled.
Thank you for sharing this information.
walkie talkie never works on my Apple Watch no matter what I do
We would like to see how we can help you with Walkie-Talkie. Are they not receiving the invitation? As long as your friend is wearing their Apple Watch and has Walkie-Talkie turned on, they should receive alerts when you want to talk. Check out this link to be sure both Apple Watches are set up correctly: s.apple.com/dE0W6J0A7c

Tried to add friend but nothing has appear on my friend’s watch about me requesting to add friend for Walkie Talkie. Called the Apple specialist but nothing much they can do. Tried restarting, on/off from the FaceTime setting, and more…
It hasn’t worked in over a year or more for me
We’d be happy to help!
Make sure you have the latest updates for both iPhone and Apple Watch installed as well as making sure FaceTime is enabled on your iPhone and that your friend also has followed these steps.

This feature has existed since the early 90s… if anyone’s seen Might Morphen Power Rangers they know what I’m talking about
It has been available since Dick Tracy in the 1930’s. Except in his case, it actually worked.
I’ve had an Apple Watch for the last 4 years and never knew this was a thing.
So you can only use an Apple Watch to contact another Apple Watch, not like vhf or uhf frequencies, that like a ham radio would use?
Great idea, sadly it basically doesn’t function. I need to use apple hardware for work, and we wanted to implement this feature in our workflow. It would be SO convenient to basically have a push to talk phone at your wrist that also can take normal calls and show the next task/client. But it never worked, we had so much problems for weeks/months that we dropped it. For personal use i wouldn’t buy something from apple anymore, those times are long gone 😁 ( except the ipad pro. That thing just works. But I’ll see if i get another one when it’s time to replace this one here)
It won’t work like a regular radio though. Hit and miss. Disappointed on the reliability.
One of the most useful features ever😅
The walkie talking app isn’t available in all countries or regions 😂 that’s probably why my watch simply doesn’t have this app
I can’t ever get this app to work… so annoying
Come on, Just make a phone call
so they fixed it? it finally works now?!?!??! :D
Yes, the Walkie Talkie feature does work with the Apple Watch. We recommend trying the steps listed here: apple.co/2NoAqpS If you have further questions, please contact Apple Support here: apple.co/GetSupport
How is it that I can buy a 5$ walkie-talkie and it works amazing and this one feature on a REALLY expensive watch can’t get it right? 😞
I can see a future feature desire... IF this can be done over wifi (third product) without cell or has to have cell ... to have to free up a second hand means you can't talk like FaceTime or other hands free set up. Also, not having my first watch yet, is why I see what the unit does. If I have a cell iPhone or home Internet, can I call and talk through that without having to buy a second line of service from the carrier? ... I know you are busy and I won't hear back, .. no worries.. just sayin so the answers might come up sometime. pat
I called Apple and the wifi does connect to other wifi and not just to your phone’s wifi
Omg hit me on the nextel chirp in 2023
Could Apple add feature to iPhone that example thief could not turn iPhone off without face/touch id?
Hey there. It sounds like Activation Lock may help you achieve the results you’ve mentioned. Check out this article for details: s.apple.com/dE0i2U2M1K

Why even add something that doesn't work ever. This app sucks, be better.
Works 5% of the time😢. Tried with my wife and most of the times says that the other person is not available
Nextel direct connect
I always send at 6AM - yet 6AM never shows up as a send time as a new standard set time - 8AM and 9AM always show up as a standard choice - how to I add 6AM as an available time when I use send later? If 6AM is used repeatedly for any length of time - I'd expect to show up or replace the two already displayed standard send times.

Should you need further assistance, contact us here: apple.co/GetSupport
Is this to imply it’s finally fixed?
It shud be available for iphone to!
I almost don’t use Walkie talkie because I hardly know anyone that has an Apple Watch ⌚️ 😂
Or you can use regular phone calls.
It NEVER worked since the day1 on my Watch 7 cellular, I stopped trying.. 😑😑
Not practical to search my directory that is synced with more than 1000 numbers....
This makes no sense in today’s market. Most if not all have ultimate calling plans and the same with texting.
Yo stop recommending support. Fix the feature it doesn’t work for anyone
This is great if you’re in a exam and u have a smart friend 😭. But it doesn’t always work sometimes I cant hear her
Can you walkie talkie using Siri? E.g. "Siri, walkie talkie Mel. Hi Mel, where did you go?"
Thanks for your question! See apple.co/49gFXoK for more information on using the Walkie-Talkie app. If you have further questions, please reach out to us using apple.co/GetSupport.
Ok now all I need is a friend to talk to. xD
That app makes no sense...if you both have cellular why use walkie/ talkie, and if on wifi your both close enough to talk. And the app must be open first , right?
It makes a lot of sense if the person you're trying to contact has their phone on silent mode and doesn't hear the ring. It's more difficult to ignore the haptic sensation on your watch. That being said, I can't get the thing to work.
"Hey, I just got here"....she didn't say over!!! 😅😅
This feature never works when I need it to. However, it always works when I am diagnoising the problem.
Wow
Apple Support when using walkie talkie do you use a phone number

My friend does not have to touch and hold to talk on his watch. Why is that?
He made a phone call, or used FaceTime audio call.
I have an iWatch, and can make and receive phone calls on it, IF it is in range of my WiFi or my iPhone.
Also Walkie-Talkie mode. Which my sister loves when I’m helping her shop, because with the watch on her wrist, her iPhone can stay in her purse/pocket. Simple. No juggling. (She has limited hand/finger mobility)
@@ernestgalvan9037 No, I’m 100% sure he is using Walkie-Talkie on his watch. I have watched him activate a conversation with Walk-Talkie with another friend and he doesn’t need to touch and hold to talk even the yellow button says “Touch & hold to talk”. Seems like a bug on the 1 gen. watch.
Walkie takie range ??

Why does this exist though
Someone will make MagSafe External SSD for iPhone 15 Pro series! Mark my words!
Magsafe can only transfer power so you would still need to hook it up with a cable
A solution to another problem that doesn't exist.
How do you get an apple watch to give you a kiss and say good morning to you?
Is it available for India and Saudi Arabia?!?
Yep
