Hi


To use the Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse watch faces with their Tap to Speak Time feature, follow these steps:


  • Select the Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse watch face:

  • Check that Tap to Speak Time is enabled:

    On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Sounds & Haptics - turn on Tap to Speak Time.

  • When viewing the time on your watch, swipe up on the display to open Control Centre.

    Check that Silent Mode is not enabled:

  • Ensure that your watch has access to Wi-Fi:
    • Check that your watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth (Connected + green phone icon) and that your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi.
    • Or, if your iPhone is not currently connected via Bluetooth, check that your watch has connected to a trusted Wi-Fi network as a fallback (Connected + green cloud icon).
    • About Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on Apple Watch - Apple Support
  • Place your watch on the charger, connected to power.
  • Wait for around 15 minutes (it may take significantly longer) for the voices to download to your watch.
  • Test by waking the screen and then tapping the watch face.


If the feature still does not work as expected, it may help to close the Watch app and restart both your iPhone and your Apple Watch before repeating the steps:

None of this works on my Series 3 watch. Mickey and Minnie still do not talk. It works fine on my wife's series 3, not working on mine. Tap to talk is on, silent mode is off. I rebooted both phone and watch several times. I unlinked them re linked them nothing changes. I removed them from the watch then reinstalled while charging left it on the charger for 30 minutes while on Wi-Fi, left it on the charger overnight nothing seems to make Micky talk. Siri works so the speaker works. I can make call and receive call fine.

How do you make Mickey Mouse talk?
