With hurricanes becoming more severe, the new satellite messaging features in iPhones ensure that users can reach emergency services even without cellular connectivity.
The 'Messages via Satellite' feature allows users not only to contact 911 but also enables pre-set emergency contacts to send texts, increasing safety in dire situations.
During Hurricane Helene, social media users highlighted how crucial satellite messaging became, showcasing real-world instances where it potentially saved lives, underscoring its importance during emergencies.
Apple's iPhones, when properly set up, can send and receive satellite messages outdoors, significantly enhancing communication options when traditional networks are down.
