Zello PTT Walkie Talkie 7.18.2: what changed
Zello turns a phone or tablet into a push-to-talk radio for private conversations and public channels. This build focuses on accessory support, easier-to-use history and talk screens, and small fixes.
What changed
- 01Support for new PTT accessories
Zello is designed for quick voice communication, and its description also lists hardware PTT button mapping and Bluetooth headset support on selected phones. The new accessory support adds to that hardware-focused use. If you rely on an accessory, check its compatibility and setup instructions before expecting it to work with Zello.
- 02Improved history and talk screens
Voice history is one of Zello’s listed features, while the talk screen is central to using the app as a walkie-talkie. The improvements are part of this release, but the specific layout changes are not detailed here. After installing, revisit these screens and use the controls that fit your usual calling routine.
- 03Several small bugs fixed
Bug fixes accompany the accessory and screen improvements in this release. Zello describes itself as an app for real-time voice communication over Wi-Fi or mobile data, so steady operation matters when you are talking with contacts or a channel. Install through Google Play, then use the app as usual and check for any available follow-up build.

Worth knowing
Zello works over Wi-Fi or 2G, 3G, or 4G mobile data, so an internet connection is needed for voice communication. Bluetooth headset support is available on selected phones, and the app can map a hardware PTT button. Live location tracking is available only with the Zello Work service; public and private channels are also supported.
