Zello is one of the top walkie-talkie apps available for iOS and Android.
Create a Zello Account
To use Zello, download the app from the iOS App Store, or go to Google Play to download the Android version. Go to the official Zello website to download and use the Zello PC app. Zello doesn’t offer a version for the Mac.
Add Contacts to Zello on a Mobile Device
Before you can use the app, you need to populate Zello with your contacts. There are several ways you can do this.
How Zello Works
After you download Zello and add friends to your Contacts list, contacting one of those friends takes only seconds.
How to Add Zello Contacts on a PC
The Zello PC app lacks a lot of the functionality of the iOS and Android versions and can only add contacts when you manually search for usernames and email addresses.
Add a Zello Friend With a QR Code
To add a contact via a QR code, tap Scan QR Code and then tap OK when asked for permission to use your camera. Your camera turns on. Place your friend’s QR code in front of the camera to scan it. If you saved their QR code to your device, tap the small picture icon in the upper-right corner to import the image manually. Your friend is added as soon as the QR code is read.
How to Locate Your Personal QR Code
A QR code is a type of barcode that stores information such as phone numbers, addresses, or in this case, a Zello username or channel name. Scanning a profile QR code adds a Zello user to your contact list instantly. Scanning a channel code adds you to a Zello channel. Zello QR codes are created automatically for users and channels and don’t need to be made manually. Here’s how to find your personal QR code on Zello.
