Changing Walkie-Talkie Talk Setting

I'm stumped.


At some point - somehow - I changed the Walkie-Talkie watch app setting from the default "tap and hold to talk" to "tap once to start talking and then tap again to stop talking".


I thought this would be a good idea at the time but after accidentally broadcasting to my daughter for several minutes this morning I'd like to go back to the default setting.


I've looked under walkie-talkie on the phone's watch app - looked under settings on the watch - hard pressed in the app - can't find where to change it back. Can't find it using Google either.


Any hints anyone?

If you have difficulty keeping your finger pressed on the Talk button, you can use a single tap to talk.

  1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap My Watch, go to General > Accessibility, then turn on Tap to Talk.

When this is on, tap once to talk, then tap again when you’re finished talking.
