Coming soon?
Apple introduced satellite SOS connectivity to its handsets with the iPhone 14 in 2022, but – despite plenty of rumors – it isn’t yet available on Android. Now it looks as though the feature might be appearing on Google Pixel phones in the near future.
If you’re not familiar with emergency SOS satellite messaging, it enables you to get help even when you don’t have an active cellular or Wi-Fi connection. It’s already been credited with saving the lives of people who’ve been stranded a long way from home.
As spotted by 9to5Google, a “Satellite SOS” option has actually started popping up in the Safety & emergency section of the settings on Pixel phones.
