Walkie talkie on Apple Watch

Am I the only one that doesn’t have the walkie talkie app on my Apple Watch and does anybody know how to install it?

Hi lava52,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Seems you need Apple Watch Series 1 or later with watchOS 5.3 or later to use walkie-talkie..

(If your iPhone isn't nearby, you can use Walkie-Talkie with a cellular or Wi-Fi connection.)



If you don't see the Walkie-Talkie app

  1. FaceTime is required for Walkie-Talkie to work, so if you've deleted it, re-download FaceTime on your iPhone. Open the App Store on your iPhone, search for FaceTime, then tap the download button 
  2. Make sure that FaceTime is turned on. Open the Settings app, tap FaceTime, then turn on FaceTime.
  3. Open the FaceTime app. To make sure FaceTime is set up correctly, try making a call. 
  4. Restart your Apple Watch.
  5. Restart your iPhone.

If you have FaceTime on your iPhone and don't see the Walkie-Talkie app on your watch, you might have deleted it. 

Open the App Store on your Apple Watch and re-download it.


Apple support have a couple of articles online that may help you use the walkie-talkie app
