Families and friends
A walkie-talkie for the whole family.
At the park, on the ski hill, at a festival or across town: hold the button and everyone hears you. No radios to buy, charge or lose.
The short answer
KeyUp is a family walkie-talkie app for Android phones, Wear OS watches and iPhone in Safari. It is free for up to 3 people, and the Family plan covers 6. It works anywhere you have Wi-Fi or mobile data.
How it works.
-
Hold and talk
One big button. Everyone in the room hears you, wherever they are.
How to -
From a watch
Turn the crown and talk, handy when your hands are full.
How to -
Messages and calls too
Chat, photos, voice notes and calls in the same app.
How to -
Visiting friends
A guest pass lets a friend join for the day without an account.
How to -
Teens by invitation
Accounts are for 13 and up; teens join a Space by invitation and owners are adults.
How to
The honest limits.
- On iPhone, KeyUp runs in Safari for now; a native iPhone app comes after the beta.
- KeyUp needs Wi-Fi or mobile data. It is not an offline radio.
- It is a work and family tool, not an emergency or safety device.
