Common Questions

How do I add a friend?

Open the Friends tab, type their handle, and tap Find, then Add. Once they accept from their Requests list, your private channel appears in Your circle.

My friend can't hear me. What should I check?

You both need to be in the channel. A glowing green ring around their bubble means they're in.
Make sure Walkie n Talkie can use the microphone: Settings > Walkie n Talkie > Microphone.
Wait for the chirp before speaking. That's the signal that you're live and they can hear you.
If your friend hasn't joined yet, talking sends them a "wants to talk" notification. Once they tap it, you're connected.

Does it work when their phone is locked?

Yes. Walkie n Talkie uses Apple's Push to Talk, so friends who've joined your channel hear you even with their phone locked, and they can reply from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island.

I'm not getting notifications.

Go to Settings > Notifications > Walkie n Talkie and turn on Allow Notifications. That's how you hear when a friend wants to talk or has left.

How do I stop talking?

Tap the talk button again. Leaving the channel also stops talking.

How do group channels work?

In Your circle, tap +, name the group, and pick at least two friends. Everyone in the group hears each other, one voice at a time, just like a real walkie-talkie.

Is my voice recorded?

No. Your voice is encrypted in transit and is never recorded or stored.

How do I delete my account?

Open the Me tab and tap Delete account. This permanently removes your profile, handle, friendships, and channels, along with your login. It can't be undone.
