Installing the APK
Download the file
Use the button above on the phone you intend to install it on. Downloading directly on the device avoids transferring the file between machines.
Allow this one installation
Android will ask whether to allow installing apps from this source. Allow it for this install only — you can turn it back off afterwards.
Confirm the warning
Because the app is not distributed through an app store yet, Android shows a one-time warning. That is expected; the checksum above is how you confirm the file is the one we published.
Grant the microphone
The app needs microphone access to capture your voice while you hold the talk button. Nothing is recorded when the button is not held.
Allow background operation
Tap the banner on the talk screen and add PTT Talkie to the battery-optimisation whitelist, so Android keeps the channel alive with the screen off.
Before you install
Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer
The current build targets Android 7.0 and above. A single APK covers phones and tablets; Google Play services are not required.
Storage and data
The download is about 6.8 MB and needs roughly twice that free while installing. Voice uses a low speech bitrate, so ordinary use consumes far less data than a video call.
A network that allows standard web ports
The client connects over standard HTTP ports, which avoids the port filtering some mobile carriers apply to unusual traffic. If your network still struggles, contact us from the in-app feedback screen.
