Is it possible to use the walkie-talkie app that’s on my watch on my iPhone? like the same app so let’s say my watch is charging and somebody sends me a message on the walkie-talkie. Can I answer from my iPhone
iPhone 11, iOS 16
There is no walkie-talkie app on the iPhone. That is a watch-only feature.
You can let Apple know that it's something you'd like to see in the future:

No one here in this user-to-user forum can answer why Apple does or doesn't do something.

You can just make a FaceTime audio call to the other user from your iPhone.
Great suggestion.
There is also an iPhone app, Zello that works like a Walkie-Talkie

They can. They can use FaceTime over cellular or regular cellular calls.
