Walkie-Talkie - Available

Have you ever made it work? I activelly tried multiple times with multiple friends and the best I could get was about 3 seconds of one-directional audio, with dropped connection right after.

When I first got my watch it worked great. A friend and geeked out about it for an hour while I was on a walk and I never used it again.
I've spent good 20 minutes trying to get it to work with me and my wife, but we both sent each other 'invites' that never arrived and it stayed like so since.

We both are in "family" too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've had the same problem... invites never arrive.
I was on a camping trip and we used it quite a few times just fine.

I find it weird on this thread and the other AirTags how everyone has such varying experiences with the hardware. My AirTags don't work often, everyone else's are fine. My walkie talkie works, no-one else does ...

WFM. Like a walkie talkie: you need to hold down the button while you record your message. The audio is one-way. Then the other person takes their turn.
