- If you want to, share your location with selected contacts while you talk

* TIP: Swipe left or right on the conversation and click the DELETE button to delete messages.

- All data and audio you transmit to HeyTell and your friends is encrypted in transit

- Earpiece and speakerphone functionality: Press the SPEAKER button to toggle earpiece vs. speakerphone mode (If you find earpiece sound is too low, enable the speaker)

- Supports iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices (2G and 3G iPod Touches require external microphone)

- You do not need to share personal information to connect with HeyTell contacts. See http://heytell.com/privacy and http://heytell.com/faq for more information about connecting without sharing phone numbers or email addresses!

Use HeyTell as a walkie talkie, intercom, or instant voice messaging system to send quick voice messages to friends and family with iPhones or iPods. Use the integrated geolocation feature to find your friends when they've given you bad directions and you're just around the corner!

HeyTell & Football
Colt45GOLDCUP

My brother & I are LIFE LONG Kansas City Chiefs fans & every Game we stay in Contact with HeyTell. Play by Play, “Touchdown Kansas City” & good for another Chief’s 1st Down are always transmitted. It’s as easy to use as a two way radio & as quick. Even used HeyTell while he was stationed in Iraq . Thanks HeyTell for a GREAT App.. GO CHIEFS!!!


Finally a update.

Most used app

This app is literally one of my most important apps. Easier than texting, safer as well. I have been using this app since 2010.


Was a great app but now crashing with IOS 13.2
jrsphoto

I’ve used this app for years but after upgrading to IOS 13, things started to get strange, mostly with random crashes. Now after upgrading to 13.2, the app won’t even launch, just crashes. Best not bother with this app until they fix it.


SETUP NEEDS AN OVERHAUL
fmjzelda

I love this app bc it's so much easier to use than the voice recording features in all the other apps, but it's SUCH A PAIN IN THE BUTT TO SET UP. it's way too complicated to add contacts and connect with them. and it's next to impossible to convince ANYONE else to use it because of this. and if nobody else uses it, I can't use it... ☹️


Update Needed
Murphynuts
