How to Use Galaxy Watch Without Phone

Do you want to use your Galaxy Watch in Standalone mode? If yes then stick with us till the end of this post. Well, there’s no doubt that you can pair or connect the Galaxy Watch to any Android device and iPhone. Meanwhile, if you don’t want to use your Galaxy Watch without a phone then learn here how to set up and use and run Galaxy Watch without a phone.

However, the biggest disadvantage of today’s smartwatches is that they depend on mobile devices more. To use the majority of the functionality, we must connect our smartwatch to our mobile. More brands are now ensuring that their high-end watches do not rely on mobile devices and instead function independently.

Furthermore, Samsung has offered consumers the option of using their smartwatch without a smartphone since the launch of the Galaxy Watch. The Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch Active 2 are both self-contained. When hiking, climbing a mountain, or engaging in other sports, you do not need to bring your mobile.

What is Standalone Mode?

When used with a standalone mode, the Galaxy Watch does not require an Android handset or an Apple iPhone to run after initial activation, but some options do (e.g., software updates, email, etc.).

In Standalone mode, the watch is not paired to the smartphone and acts as a standalone device. In Standalone mode, the watch can only send and receive messages from the Watch phone number and will not have access to Watch manager features. When the watch is in standalone mode, the link status will be shown in the Moments bar.
