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.

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.

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.
