Beyond the realm of Apple iPhones, Android devices are gearing up to offer robust support for emergency communication via satellite networks. The upcoming Android 14 is slated to usher in broader satellite connectivity, aiming to parallel its Apple counterpart.
Of particular intrigue, recent reports have surfaced highlighting an additional facet. Neïl Rahmouni, through his Twitter account, hinted at the intriguing possibility of Google Messages integrating Garmin Response for emergency SOS via satellite.
Should these reports prove accurate, the implications are substantial. Android users could potentially access emergency SMS services via satellite in a staggering 150 or more countries, a notable contrast to Apple’s current service which remains confined to select regions.
However, as of now, the veracity of this information remains unconfirmed, with no formal declarations from either Google or Garmin validating these claims.
