Google appears to be working on a satellite SOS feature for its Messages app, which would let users text emergency services from remote areas without a cell signal.
Earlier code in the Google Messages app shows work on an integration with Garmin and its emergency Garmin Response service.
Qualcomm is also working on adding support for SOS messaging via Iridium with a service it’s calling Snapdragon Satellite.
Google isn’t alone in bringing satellite services to Android.
Apple launched emergency SOS messaging on the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro last year.
Qualcomm has also been trying to bring this feature to its own line of products, such as the iPhone 7 and 7 PlusLast but not least, Google follows suit with an iOS app that lets you send messages over Wi-Fi when there’s no cellular signal.
