Walkie Talkie Invitations Aren't Working

Working with apple support through Chat, this is what worked for me -

iPhone 8+

AW 3 w/ LTE

That may be an issue on the iPhone actually. What I’d suggest is to unpair the watch again, then go into your iPhone settings and sign out of your account for iCloud. Then go to Settings>safari on the iPhone and clear the history and website data, then go to Settings>general>reset and choose “reset network settings”. That will restart the iPhone and clear out any errors it stored with the servers that allow this enrollment. After that, you’ll manually reconnect to wi-fi, re-pair with the watch, and can try again

Once I did this, Walkie Talkie invitations and functionality worked straight away

I had the same problem. What fixed it for me was adding my Apple ID to FaceTime. I couldn’t make FaceTime audio calls from my watch using Siri until I did this. It kept telling me to set up a FaceTime account. Once I had added an email address set up with FaceTime, I was able to get walkie talkie to work.

Before taking that step, I would recommend just waiting about 24 hours. That solved my problem. I didn't re-pair my watch or anything (this feature isn't worth the hassle of re-pairing the watch). Odds are, those who have re-paired or set up the watch as new, just wasted a step. If it still doesn't work in a day or two, then go for it, but give it s chance to solve itself first.

Another thing to add to your post. On the iphone, go to settings> contacts> My info.

I had it on the apple watch, but it didn't have the full app icon. After filling in the above information, it is up and running.

we tried all of this and unpairing and repairing is finally what fixed it. We had to do both watches to both phones, delete the previous invitations and then it finally started working. However, sometimes the watches won't talk to eachother due to bluetooth back to the phones getting weak.

Go into your settings and turn off face time. Then try to send it again.

I was able to fix this by turning off Bluetooth on my phone then turning it back on.

We tried this and it didn't help, also tried rebooting the watch, waiting 24 hours, still nothing. It just showed "invited". We both deleted the invitations and then resent them. Now with Facetime off it shows "inviting" in the walkie talkie app.

Go to the Apple Watch app on your phone > general > accessibility > scroll down to wallow talkie tap to talk

Same problem

Send the invite , says invited ... but the receiver don’t get the invite and vice versa

Any help ??

Well, after about 24 hours, I just got a notification that my wife accepted the invite. Like most Apple things when they don't work, just wait a little while and the problem solves itself.

I have the same issue. I used my watch to invite my wife, and used hers to invite me. Now, both watches show the other person as "invited" but we cannot connect. The feature looks cool, but if it involves re-pairing both watches and not restoring from backup, I won't be using this feature.

We tried turning Facetime back on and in the Walkie Talkie section under the watch ap on our iphoneX it shows that we are connected under the contacts. However, under the Walkie Talkie ap on our Apple watches it still shows "inviting". It just doesn't seem to want to work at all. It's now been three days since we started trying to make this work.

Forgot to mention that our Facetime works just fine, always had. We set those up when we first got the phones back in February. If Walkie Talkie uses Facetime audio then this should be working fine, but it doesn't.
