Stay in touch with the person beside you. Intercom turns two nearby iPhones into a hands-free voice intercom, designed with motorcycle riders and passengers in mind. TALK WITHOUT INTERNET Calls travel directly between nearby iPhones over local Wi-Fi. You do not need mobile data, cellular coverage, a router or an internet connection during the call. Keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on on both phones. CONNECT WITH A CODE Open a session on one iPhone. Enter its six-digit code on the other and select the session. Once connected, both people can speak and listen without holding a button. USE YOUR HEADSET Use AirPods or a compatible headset, mute your microphone when needed, and keep talking with the screen locked. Range and audio quality depend on the devices, headset and surroundings. Set everything up while stationary. TRY 15 MINUTES Each device gets 15 minutes of total connected-call time.
