How To Use iPhone Emergency Satelite iOS?

With the launch of the new iPhone 14 in September 2022, users received quite a lot of new features. One of those includes the emergency SOS via satellite. While the feature name says it all, this article will look at this in detail and tell you how to use it.

What Is the SOS For?

Apple claims that the SOS is only for exceptional situations, and you have no way of reaching emergency services. For example, if you’re in trouble or lost and unable to get mobile or Wi-Fi signal, your iPhone 14 can send an SOS message using satellite and send help your way.

How Reliable Is the Connection?

Since the connection is made via satellite, you should know that it will be limited and slow. You should use this connection only to send out vital information like your location, your condition, and what kind of help you need.

The SOS function works only on the iPhone 14 series (14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max). Although the service is free for two years, chances are that Apple may have a long-term price associated with this.
