Invite never gets seen

I’ve tried adding people on the walkie app and no one ever received the invite. 🧐

This Should Not Be a Watch Only App

To properly get use of this app, it should be available to all Apple users, regardless of whether it’s an Apple Watch, an iPhone or a Macintosh.

Why does it do this?

When my friend tries to invite me it doesn’t come through and vice versa.

Pretty cool, just one thing missing

It’s a pretty handy app, but if it could connect to my AirPods I would give it 5 stars

Can’t invite anyone

I can’t seem to invite other friends that use the app. Frustrating.
