Google’s Android 14 hints it will bring SMS support over satellite connections like iPhone

Google unveiled its Android 13 OS last year and plans to introduce its next Android version, Android 14, later this year. While Android 14 is still in its beta stage, the features and improvements that will be included in the next version of Google’s mobile operating system are already rolling out to the internet. Android 14 has been hinted at offering satellite connectivity support to smartphones, which will allow users to send emergency message alerts without using their phone or his WiFi coverage. This feature was also introduced by Apple in last year’s iPhone 14 series.

In a recent tweet, TeamPixel (Twitter @GooglePixelFC) shared that the upcoming Android 14 will bring satellite connectivity support for SMS and other features to supported phones with the required hardware. It is also said that users of Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy phones are likely to get the feature first. Satellite-based communication requires hardware support, so the availability of this feature on other Android smartphones varies by manufacturer.

If this feature is supported, smartphone users can send SMS over satellite connections even in remote areas where cellular networks or WiFi are not accessible.

Apple introduced an Emergency SoS feature via satellite last year with the launch of the iPhone 14 series. However, this feature was only available in the US and Canada at launch. It has since expanded to many countries including the UK, France, Germany, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Portugal. This feature allows users to not only communicate with emergency services, but also find their location using the Find My app and share it with friends and family.

Meanwhile, Google released the Android 14 Beta 4 update to eligible Pixel users earlier this month. The latest Android 14 beta is said to be suitable for testing and general use. It is said to bring several fixes and system performance improvements. Android 14 Beta 4 is also available for Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet.
