You can turn your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 into a walkie-talkie with Samsung’s latest app, though it only works with Galaxy Watch 4 owners.<\/b>
\nBefore Wear OS 3 for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series was officially announced, it was rumored that the company was working on a walkie-talkie feature. Now, Samsung\u2019s WalkieTalkie app has been released on the Google Play Store, and it allows two users to have a conversation with just their watch. Only Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 owners can use it to talk to one another, and you can\u2019t use previous watches from the company either. A Walkie Talkie feature has existed on Apple Watches for a while, though it\u2019s likely not that useful of a feature, in my opinion. It\u2019s a bit gimmicky, and you still need to actually pair it with someone else\u2019s smartwatch with a pin code. Samsung recommends running the Walkie Talkie app for the first time while the watch is connected to your phone, though it can work independently of your phone. All you need to do is pair it with a nearby friend\u2019s smartwatch, and then you can hold down the microphone button to transmit your voice.

This is the first time we\u2019re seeing the new version of Wear OS being implemented on a smartwatch, albeit with a custom skin on top. Both smartwatches feature the Exynos W920 5nm chipset, for both good performance and good battery life. All of Google\u2019s redesigned smartwatch apps have debuted on the Galaxy Watch 4 series too, and you get all of Samsung\u2019s first-party applications on top of that. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is likely one of the best Wear OS watches yet, and features like this solidify it as a versatile smartwatch for everyone. A Walkie Talkie app is not the most useful feature in my opinion, but it can be fun to play around with, and someone will likely find use out of it.<\/p>\n
