TALKIE WEB APP FOR PHONES

TALKIE on your home screen. Nothing to install.

Pin TALKIE to the home screen of your iPhone or Android phone: it opens full screen with its own icon, like an app, and tells you about new messages, also while it is closed.

Open TALKIE Android app instead
iPhone with iOS 16.4 or newer · Android with Chrome · free · sign in with your SPKR HQ account

iPhone (Safari)

  1. Open hq.sp3akr.com/talkie in Safari. It has to be Safari: only Safari can add it to the home screen.
  2. Tap Share (the square with the arrow up, at the bottom), scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
  3. Open TALKIE from its new icon and sign in. When TALKIE asks for notices, tap Allow: the iPhone only sends notices to TALKIE opened from the home screen.

Android (Chrome)

  1. Open hq.sp3akr.com/talkie in Chrome.
  2. Tap the menu (the three dots, top right), then Add to Home screen or Install app. TALKIE also shows an Install button bottom left when Chrome offers it.
  3. Open TALKIE from its icon, sign in and tap Allow when it asks for notices.

What you get

🔔

Notices for new messages

Direct messages, friend requests and invites arrive as notices, also while TALKIE is closed. Set yourself to Busy (tap your picture) and they come in without a sound.

🔆

The screen stays on in a voice room

While you are in a voice room your phone does not lock itself. Leave the room and it locks as usual again.

📱

Full screen, its own icon

No browser bars: servers, chat rooms, voice rooms and your friends, the same account as in SPKR HQ on your PC.

Good to know: on an iPhone a voice room stops when you switch to another app or lock the phone yourself, because the iPhone pauses web apps in the background. On Android the TALKIE app keeps a voice room going with the screen off.
