Google Messages to Integrate Satellite SOS Support for Android and iPhone

TL;DR
Google Messages is reportedly adding support for satellite connectivity to send emergency SOS messages. A placeholder UI has been discovered in the app, indicating that users will be able to customize their SOS messages instead of using preset phrases. This feature is expected to be integrated into the Messages app rather than being a separate app. Google had previously announced that Android 14 would enable smartphones to communicate directly via satellite connectivity. It is unclear which Android devices will support this feature, as it requires specific modem hardware.
