Apple announced a new feature for the upcoming iOS 18 that will allow iPhone users to send text messages via satellite when Wi-Fi or cellular service is not available. This feature was unveiled during Apple's annual WWDC keynote, highlighting the innovation and convenience that Apple continues to bring to its users. Messages via satellite will enable users to stay connected with friends and family even in remote areas where service may be limited. The process is seamless – users will receive a prompt to connect to a satellite when service is unavailable, allowing them to send both iMessage and SMS texts. However, there are restrictions on SMS messages to prevent congestion, with RCS messages not supported in satellite mode. This feature will initially be available on the iPhone 14 and later models in the U.S., with plans to expand to other countries in the future. Apple's dedication to enhancing communication capabilities for its users is evident through this innovative new offering.
