To use Walkie-Talkie, you and your friend both need Apple Watch Series 1 or later with watchOS 5.3 or later. You also both need to set up the FaceTime app on your iPhone with iOS 12.4 and be able to make and receive FaceTime audio calls. The Walkie-Talkie app isn't available in all countries or regions.

Just like the walkie-talkie-equipped phones of the early 2000s, this app is a great way to chat across your home, or across the country, without ever having to worry about waiting for a call to be picked up.


You and at least one contact with an iPhone running iOS 12.4 or later (with FaceTime enabled) and an Apple Watch running WatchOS 5.3 or later. Both are several years old at this point, with the iPhone and Apple watch now sporting iOS 16 and Watch OS 9, respectively. The initial setup should take about a minute, and subsequent connections would basically be instant.


If you have mobility issues, or you'd rather just toggle your connection on and off with a single tap, you can enable this mode by going into the Settings app on your Apple watch and turning on Tap to Talk under the Walkie-Talkie section. With this mode enabled, one tap will open the mic and a second will close it.


You can exit the app and return to your Apple Watch's watch face by pressing its Digital Crown. Doing so will leave your the app running in the background, allowing any Friends in the Walkie-Talkie app to communicate with you at any time.






Before Wear OS 3 for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series was officially announced, it was rumored that the company was working on a walkie-talkie feature. Now, Samsung's WalkieTalkie app has been released on the Google Play Store, and it allows two users to have a conversation with just their watch. Only Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 owners can use it to talk to one another, and you can't use previous watches from the company either.


A Walkie Talkie feature has existed on Apple Watches for a while, though it's likely not that useful of a feature, in my opinion. It's a bit gimmicky, and you still need to actually pair it with someone else's smartwatch with a pin code. Samsung recommends running the Walkie Talkie app for the first time while the watch is connected to your phone, though it can work independently of your phone. All you need to do is pair it with a nearby friend's smartwatch, and then you can hold down the microphone button to transmit your voice.


The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is likely one of the best Wear OS watches yet, and features like this solidify it as a versatile smartwatch for everyone. A Walkie Talkie app is not the most useful feature in my opinion, but it can be fun to play around with, and someone will likely find use out of it.


Walkie-Talkie is a fun new way to communicate that's been introduced with watchOS 5. Apple Watch owners can use the new Walkie-Talkie app to instantly talk to available contacts by holding down a button, just like you would with a hardware walkie-talkie. The app works both over Wi-Fi and cellular connections, so you can use the app wherever and whenever you want as long as you Apple Watch has a data connection.


Finding a great set of walkie-talkies for kids isn't as simple as you'd think. With more than 40 options to consider, we chose the top 10 products to purchase and test to find the best the market offers. We tested each product for ease of use, quality, and more. With so many options and variations, it can be hard to tell one from another. Let our hands-on kid testers give you the insider details you need to find the right toy for your kids.


The Motorola T100 Talkabout is a sturdy feeling basic walkie-talkie set for kids. It has minimal buttons on a straightforward user interface, and it gets the job done without some of the bells and whistles found on the competing kid's products. We like this set's simplicity, and we had more luck with channel setting and less accidental channel changing from little ones during testing compared to the competition. The pair takes AAA batteries and has belt clips to keep the unit nearby and ready to talk.


The batteries in this unit are more challenging to change with the belt clip in place than in the competition. They also drained relatively quickly compared to the other walkies that take the same number and kind of batteries. In our tests, fresh batteries lasted less than a day. A subsequent test day yielded longer results, so we aren't sure what is happening with this pair. Overall, we like that Motorola usually translates to quality, and the walkie-talkies were easy to use, had a good range, and the voices were clear, making them a good choice for most kids, but keep a set of batteries on hand just in case.


The call lock button stops other players from talking to you, and it makes a ring like a phone. The ring makes it appealing to children to touch the button, but the way it stops the relay of communication is frustrating for little ones who just want it to ring like a phone. Also, the push-to-talk button on one option broke off during testing, but we snapped it back in place, and it stayed there for the remainder of the testing. Overall, these walkie-talkies are an excellent option for larger groups looking for distance-talking fun.


If you're looking for something slightly different from the usual fare, the QNIGLO Walkie Talkies with FM is a fun animal walkie with a wrist band, lanyard, and FM radio. Testers loved the radio components and the cute design, and even older kids overlooked the cute animal for the lighter weight and clear sound. The shape fits nicely in little hands, and if kids look close enough, they'll see the lights around the eyes change colors.


The buttons on this option are harder to read and press. Also, parents will likely need to read the instructions as the fewer buttons are not readily apparent in what they do. Overall, testers loved this option, and while they are not the typical outdoorsy walkies, we think that is why many testers loved them.


The Arcshell Rechargeable Long Range Two-Way Radios are grownup walkies at a kid-friendly price. These handhelds come with charging stations, rechargeable batteries, and cool headsets. Older testers like the adult look and the professional feel of this product, and parents like the intuitive buttons.


These "grownup" walkies probably won't appeal to little kids, and those still attracted to bright colors and kid-centric features. However, for the price, they offer a great range, reusable batteries, and a military-type headset that can up the action of strategy games like laser tag and capture the flag. Older children and preteens might find these extra exciting.


The Retevis RT628 Walkie Talkies is a solid feeling walkie with a durable design and an easy-to-hold rounded shape. This option comes with a jack for a headset and a call button with a phone-like ring.


The phone call button ringing is annoying, and you can't talk through it. Unfortunately, young children find this to be the best feature. This option also lacks any exciting kid-centric features like a lamp, radio, or fun color scheme. We like how durable this pair feels and suspect it might take more than one drop before it gives up, making it a good choice for those who tend to drop things easily or want a camping-style walkie more than a toy.


These talkies have a challenging channel-changing design that is hard for parents and surprisingly easy for kids to change accidentally. This design means a lot of parent involvement to fix the "broken" talkies. Also, the voice activation didn't work that well in our tests since kids talk all the time. The constant talking meant that kids on other talkies never got to speak. Overall, we see this kid-centric product's appeal and think it might be fun for a short period when playing in a group. However, it isn't the best pair, and we believe parents and kids will be happier with other options in this review.


the Selieve Walkie Talkies is a two-pack set of walkie-talkies that are all but identical to the Obuby, varying only in color. The two products have the same plastic case design, take the same number and type of batteries, and have the same buttons and flashlight accessory. We like them both equally, as the only discernable difference is the color of the units. This option ranks slightly lower because it comes in a two-pack instead of three for virtually the same price.


These walkie-talkies, alongside their twins, have many buttons, and to be honest, most are unnecessary or cause unintended channel changes that are hard to fix quickly. Even an annoying ringer may draw attention to your handheld buddy but prevents any talking and is irritating to adults. However, this ringer is a younger tester's favorite. Overall, this set isn't bad for a toy, but there are easier-to-use options in this bunch of similar fare.


The Kids Walkie Talkies Watches is a camo-colored watch-style toy with a compass and a cool soldier look and feel. Testers were immediately drawn to the design and couldn't wait to use them. The talk button is easy to access, readily marked, and works well. It comes with more features than the competition, including a compass, magnifier, reflector, watch, nightlight, and secret compartments.


Unfortunately, this toy came broken, and we were disappointed that both compasses were knocked off-kilter and didn't move. Also, the antenna is an old-school telescoping antenna circa any time before 1990, and it doesn't play well with the wristband design of this "watch." Overall, we think it is a great concept that was poorly executed compared to the competition, and we are sad to say we can't recommend it. You may want to steer clear so you don't disappoint an eager explorer.


We researched more than 20 kid-specific walkie-talkies to find the best options for testing. We consulted little ones on what they thought looked fun or what kind of features they wanted. Once we purchased the devices, we assessed their quality, ease of use, and features to help rank them in our roundup. What's more, we gave them to kids aged 3 to 13 to see which options they liked and which fell short in fun. We used their feedback and our test data to influence award winners and rankings.
