Walkie-talkie invited contacts I don’t recognize

Walkie-talkie invited contacts I don’t recognize. I deleted by swiping left and touching +. Then next time I used walkie talkie those same that I deleted are back. I want a short list of people in walkie- talkie. I invited 3 people, but I end up with 6-8 yellow cards with names that don‘t match the 3 I invited. it appears that walkie-talkie is inviting others automatically? Is there a ”invite all contacts” setting that I need to turn off?

(Also someone please update the autocorrect algorithm to accept “walkie-talkie”)

typo: should be x not +

(and why can't we edit or delete posts??? there is no obvious button, and searching question came up with "no" - this is why there are so many trash questions and comments. sarcasm: can anyone make communities discussions even more useless?). And while you are at it deleting this message for off topic, please delete my original post as it is riddled with typos

You can edit a comment within 15 minutes of having posted it. After that, only the Hosts can make changes. And, only the Hosts can delete posts. They only do so if the post violated the terms of use to which we all agreed when we registered. Typos do not violate the terms of use.

You asked why you were unable to edit posts, which is not entirely correct. I assumed that you didn't know how to edit as many people don't.

Once you post something here, it essentially belongs to Apple. Only they get to delete things.

Edit: Where are the setting that I can turn off auto-invite extra contacts to Walkie-Talkie? (I have extra yellow cards to other contacts that I didn’t invite. Two days ago I deleted those yellow cards, and yesterday those same cards showed up. Then this morning when I first opened Walkie-Talkie those 2 extra cards were grey “inviting...”. Do I have to swipe left and delete everyday? At least 2 of those I have never invited. Does it have something to do with the same feature that remembers every email you’ve ever sent or received even if they aren’t in your contacts? There are only some people that I want to be able to contact me thru walkie-talkie, not all or nothing.

That makes for a very messy and bloated forum if people can’t clean up their own posts.

You are certainly entitled to that opinion. It appears, however, that the Hosts do not agree with you.

I believe the OP is talking about the walkie-talkie feature that's part of Watch OS 5.

When I worked at the flagship Verizon store in my city, we used them. There was a restaurant above us in the same building that used the same walkie talkies. Every once in a while channels would get messed up and we'd find ourselves being asked where table 47's meat loaf was.

Yes, that is what I wrote. And I am saying I should be able to delete my own post, especially if I’d doesn’t have any helpful responses, so that I can replace it with a better question.
