What is HeyTell?

  • Send and receive voice messages with other HeyTell users with the press of a single button

  • Voice messages are quicker than SMS—and free!

  • Very low data usage, no more than sending an email

  • PUSH NOTIFICATIONS alert you whenever a voice message is received and the app is closed

  • NEW: Apple Watch support for sending texts through HeyTell

  • TIP: If you did not enable Pushes on initial install, open the Apple Settings app, select Notifications, ensure it's set to On, select HeyTell, and ensure that Badges and Alerts are both set to On.

  • Works on 3G, 4G, EDGE, 1X or WiFi (i.e., any Internet connection)

  • Superior audio quality: At 16 kHz, HeyTell delivers twice the frequency range of a cell phone call

  • Favorites: Favorite and export messages you like to email or Facebook!

  • Export messages you record to Facebook, Twitter, Email, and more!

  • Extras: Use the in-app purchase function to set alert tones, send messages to groups, change your voice, automatically expire and batch-delete messages, and add emojis to your name!

  • Quickly friend, unfriend, or block contacts. Adding contacts as friends ensures that you can always quickly find them by tapping the To: field and tapping "Friends."

  • Choose from three different privacy levels to control how users can contact you without an invite:

  • Low Privacy: Anyone who knows your contact information can connect with you without an invite.

  • Medium Privacy: Anyone who knows your contact information and is friends with one of your HeyTell friends can connect with you. Otherwise, they must invite you to connect.

  • High Privacy: No one can connect with you until you accept their invitation.
