Apple’s iPhone 14 Emergency SOS via Satellite Feature to Launch in Six Additional Countries

Moreover, if users wish to reassure friends and family about their locations when off the grid, they may launch the Find My app and broadcast their whereabouts via satellite.

If a user is unable to access emergency services due to a lack of cellular or Wi-Fi coverage, an easy-to-use interface opens on the iPhone to get the user aid through a satellite link. A brief questionnaire appears to assist the user in answering crucial questions with a few easy taps, which are relayed to dispatchers in the first message to guarantee they can immediately comprehend a user’s position and location. Apple collaborated extensively with specialists to analyse typical questions and processes in order to discover the most prevalent causes for summoning emergency services.
