Apple has announced that it will extend free access to Emergency SOS via satellite for another year for all existing iPhone 14 users who activated their device prior to today in supported countries.

Google Messages could soon let you send emergency SOS messages through satellite connectivity. Google has apparently begun adding the UI elements required to initiate this feature.

Police in Scotland has asked people to remain on the line if they accidentally place an emergency call through Android's Emergency SOS feature. It reported a large spike in calls due to Emergency SOS.

An iPhone 14 has been credited with helping save the lives of a couple whose car fell 300 feet off a mountain and into a canyon with no cellular service or obvious means of external communication.

Emergency SOS via satellite is now available for iPhone 14 users in the UK, Ireland, France, and Germany. The feature allows people to call for help even if they don't have cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.

Apple's iPhone 14 line-up can now use Emergency SOS via Satellite in the U.S. and Canada. The company said that it will launch the feature in France, Germany, Ireland, and the UK next month.

Apple has finally revealed when the iPhone 14 lineup will receive the promised emergency SOS via satellite. The company says users can look forward to receiving the promised feature later this month.
