Apple has introduced an exciting new feature that has been making waves in the tech world \u2013 Apple Messages via satellite on iOS 18. This feature expands the satellite capabilities of Apple devices to include regular messaging, taking communication to a whole new level.<\/p>\n
What is Apple Messages via satellite on iOS 18?
\n\u2013 It works like regular messaging in iMessage but utilizes the power of satellites orbiting the Earth.
\n\u2013 When you don\u2019t have cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity, your iPhone can still send messages \u2013 not just SOS messages but regular chats with friends in iMessage.
\n\u2013 Your chats are safe and secure with Apple\u2019s end-to-end encryption, ensuring privacy and security.<\/p>\n
How does it work?
\n\u2013 When your iPhone detects that you\u2019re out of signal reach, a message will prompt you to connect to a satellite for messaging.
\n\u2013 You can access Messages via satellite directly from the iMessage app.
\n\u2013 The phone guides you through the steps needed to establish a connection with the nearest satellite for seamless communication.<\/p>\n
What messages are supported?
\n\u2013 Currently, SMS and regular iMessage messages are supported (RCS is not supported at this time).
\n\u2013 You can only receive SMS when connected to a satellite from your emergency contacts due to spam and promotional message concerns.<\/p>\n
Supported devices:
\n\u2013 The Messages via Satellite feature is available with iOS 18, and Beta participants can already test it in the US.
\n\u2013 Supported iPhone models include iPhone 14 or newer.<\/p>\n
How much does it cost?
\n\u2013 The feature is currently free, but there are speculations about it potentially becoming a paid subscription in the future.
\n\u2013 For now, enjoy this innovative feature for free by joining Apple\u2019s Beta testing program if you have an iPhone 14 or newer.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
