Apple announced that its Emergency SOS via satellite feature will be released in Mexico by the end of this year, expanding the company’s series of satellite-powered tools accessible on all iPhone 14 and newer models.
The satellite suite includes Emergency SOS, Find My, Messages, and Roadside Assistance, accessible when users are out of Wi-Fi or cellular range.
To access these features, users can launch the Control Center, click “Satellite,” and follow Apple’s Connection Assistant that shows available features by country.
The Cupertino-based tech giant continues to offer all satellite services for free, announcing granting iPhone 14 and 15 users another year of complimentary access.
