Mini Walkie Talkie is an end-to-end encrypted push-to-talk app that works online, offline, nearby, and over the internet. Add trusted contacts by scanning each other’s QR code, then press and hold to talk. Works on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch (standalone). The app automatically chooses the best available route for each voice message: • Nearby first: when devices are close, the app can use Bluetooth personal area networking, shared Wi‑Fi, or peer-to-peer Wi‑Fi through Apple’s nearby device networking. • Internet direct: when both devices are online, the app can try WebRTC for a direct peer-to-peer connection across the public internet. • Encrypted relay fallback: when direct routes are not available, Pro background receiving can use an online relay. Audio remains end-to-end encrypted, and the relay only handles encrypted voice data. Mini Walkie Talkie is designed for quick private voice communication with friends, family, teams, and trusted contacts. Key features: • Push-to-talk voice messages • Works online and offline • Nearby Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi peer-to-peer communication • Internet WebRTC direct connection when available • Encrypted online relay fallback for Pro background receiving • QR code contact setup • End-to-end encrypted audio • One-to-one trusted contact communication • Recent transfer details showing which route was used • Free users can receive best-effort while the app is open • Pro users can receive more reliably in the background Privacy and encryption: Each device creates its own cryptographic identity. Contact QR codes include signed public keys so both sides can verify who they are connecting with. Voice sessions use fresh session keys, authenticated encryption, and replay protection. Your audio is encrypted before it leaves your device. Nearby devices, WebRTC peers, and the online relay only carry encrypted packets. Relay audio is temporary, limited in size and duration, and removed after the recipient receives it. Free and Pro: Free users can send and receive using nearby routes and direct internet routes while the app is open. Keep the app open for best free receiving reliability. Pro unlocks reliable background receiving with encrypted relay fallback when direct routes are unavailable. Mini Walkie Talkie is built for private, fast, route-aware voice communication — from the same room to across the Internet. Sending a message on Apple Watch requires Pro subscription. Also, receiving on Apple Watch currently only works if app is in the foreground.

See how much cellular data you may have left before your plan runs out. GigaSave estimates your remaining GB and helps you limit selected video and social apps when your balance gets low or during hours you choose. HOW IT WORKS 1. In iPhone Settings > Cellular, check which apps have used the most cellular data. 2. Choose the apps you want to limit with Apple's Screen Time picker. Unselected apps stay available. 3. Enter the current remaining GB shown by your carrier and set your monthly allowance and renewal day. GigaSave then estimates device-wide cellular usage from iPhone network counters and subtracts it from the balance you entered. See your estimated balance, days left in the cycle, and a daily usage guide. Set a low-balance threshold, daily limiting hours, or both. You can correct your balance using your carrier's latest figure at any time. YOUR PLAN STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account is required. Your plan, balance, and app selections are stored on your iPhone and are not added to ad requests. GigaSave cannot see the names of selected apps or read per-app cellular usage. ADS GigaSave may show a banner on the Home screen using Google services. The app remains usable if an ad cannot load. See the privacy policy for details about ad-related data processing. IMPORTANT TO KNOW GigaSave does not fetch your carrier's official balance, change the Cellular Data switch, or guarantee exact or live tracking. The estimate can differ from your carrier's records, especially with dual SIM, shared or rollover plans, zero-rated traffic, reboots, or periods when iOS does not run the app. Notifications may be delayed. Daily time limits also apply while connected to Wi-Fi. Check your carrier's app for the official balance. DATA CHARTS Compare estimated daily usage across the last 14 days with your daily guide. Review recorded monthly billing cycles against your allowance. The app cannot reconstruct daily usage from before setup. Daily usage is estimated. When measurement intervals span multiple days, usage is distributed over time and may differ from the carrier’s official daily usage. Previously unmeasured data cannot be recovered. App locks also apply over Wi-Fi. To stop cellular data only, turn off the app in iPhone Settings > Cellular or Mobile Data.
