Does watch app work if phone is not within range ?
Can I receive and send WhatsApp messages on my watch with Watchapp+ if my phone isn’t in range ?
For your Apple Watch to work, as it normally does, with the WhatsApp app without your iPhone being nearby, the Apple Watch must be either connected to a Wi-Fi Network OR to a Cellular Network. If there is no Wi-Fi or a Cellular Network connection available, then most apps that require an internet connection will not work.
