Apple Launches the Emergency SOS via Satellite Feature in Europe
Kanesa David — December 13, 2022 — Tech
Apple’s Emergency SOS via Satellite feature is officially launching on the iPhone 14 lineup across the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, and the UK. After launching in November 2022 for the North American market, Apple has confirmed a European expansion for the emergency feature. The user must dial 911 before having the option to send an emergency text message via satellite if the call is unsuccessful. To send the message to a satellite, the user must complete a brief survey outlining the nature of their emergency.
Currently, the Emergency SOS feature only works on the iPhone 14 lineup. Apple has since announced that there are plans to implement this feature in other countries as well. The tech giant states that support for more countries will come “next year.”
