Yes, you can use walkie talkie on an apple watch without cellular.
However, the Apple Watch is not designed to be a standalone device and thus cannot be used outside of its corresponding iPhone.
This means that for your Apple Watch to have access to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, your synced iPhone must also have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth enabled.
A Walkie Talkie is an accessory that the user can attach to their Apple Watch. What this accessory allows you to do is have two-way communication with your iPhone using the built-in speaker and microphone of your Apple Watch.
The iPhone must be connected to a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth network at all times.
Once your iPhone has Wi-Fi or Bluetooth enabled, your steps will synchronize between it and the Apple Watch in real-time, allowing for voice calls and messages sent through Siri on your phone without needing cellular connectivity.
How to use Walkie-Talkie with an Apple Watch
There is no need to have to pair your iPhone with the other device first. You don’t have to go through the process of setting up, pairing and connecting again for all of your Apple devices, just for this apple watch.
Firstly, open up the walkie talkie app on your phone and turn on your Apple Watch by manual activation under “settings.” Then, you can use a walkie talkie by talking into it. In order to make the other person hear what you said, you have to press the talk button on your phone.
That way, you will be able to hear the sound coming out of your phone speaker and also hear what the other person is saying via your apple watch.
If there is an emergency situation, you can use a walkie-talkie while having your phone on mute. When the emergency happens and you press the talk button, your phone will turn on its speaker and your watch will unlock.
With this feature, you can keep talking while you are in an emergency situation, without having to say “sorry” to your friends or family for your phone acting weird.
