Voiceover: From your backyard
to the kitchen,
or a beach hut
to a ski lodge,
Walkie-Talkie lets you
chat back and forth
using your Apple Watch,
no matter the distance.
Here's how to get started.
First, make sure
your Apple Watch
is running watchOS 5.
Now sure how to update?
Check out the link
in the description below.
To start using Walkie-Talkie,
press the Digital Crown
to go to the Home screen.
Then open the Walkie-Talkie app.
You'll see a list
of suggested contacts
that you can use
Walkie-Talkie with.
Tap on a contact name
to send them an invite.
Once they accept, you'll
see their card turn yellow
and you'll receive
a notification.
To add more people to your list,
tap the yellow back button
in the upper-left corner
of your watch.
Scroll down
and tap the plus sign
and then tap
another suggested contact
to send them an invite.
Once your friend has accepted,
you're ready to chat.
Tap Open Walkie-Talkie
to start.
Then, touch and hold
the Talk button
to start chatting
back and forth.
"Whoa. Check out
the snow forecast!"
And just release the Talk button
when you're done talking.
If your friend is unavailable,
you'll see this screen.
Oh, well.
Let's try another friend.
Tap OK.
Then tap the yellow back button
and select another contact.
Now, touch and hold
the Talk button again.
"Got an extra lift ticket.
You in?"
Then release the Talk button
when you're done.
When your friend responds,
you'll hear their voice
immediately and without
a notification.
Shota: Yeah. Let's go!
Voiceover: Just like that.
If you don't want to be
reached on Walkie-Talkie,
let your contacts know
you're not available.
Tap the yellow back button,
scroll up, and turn off
your availability.
Turning Do Not Disturb on
or using Theater Mode
will also turn off
your availability.
Copy that!
