Apple on Tuesday announced that its safety service Emergency SOS via satellite is now available to customers in the US and Canada.
Available on all iPhone 14 models, the technology enables users to message with emergency services while outside of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage.
Additionally, if users want to reassure friends and family of their whereabouts while traveling off the grid, they can now open the Find My app and share their location via satellite, the company said in a statement.
The Emergency SOS via satellite will come to France, Germany, Ireland, and the UK in December.
Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, said that the feature «is a breakthrough service available only on the iPhone 14 lineup, and a new innovation that we hope will provide our customers some peace of mind.»
The service will be included for free for two years starting at the time of activation of a new iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
