[Music] Apple and Google now both have a satellite SOS feature that lets you get help in an emergency when you're out of self-service range. But how do they compare? Hi, I'm Lexi. Welcome to your weekly dose of all things mobile. You might already know that Apple has had a bit of a head start on emergency SOS via satellite, introduced in 2022 on the iPhone 14. Google, though, has unveiled its own satellite SOS feature on the Pixel 9 series of phones two years later. Now, both of them let you text with emergency services via satellite when you have no Wi-Fi or cell signal, when you're outside in clear view of the sky. Compatible iPhones and Pixel phones can tap into communication satellites. Google partners with Skylo, while Apple partners with Global Star. Those satellites then send the message to a ground station here on Earth, which then relays it to emergency services. But you don't really need to know how any of this works. If you need help, you just dial the emergency number on your phone. So, in the US, that's 911. If

the call doesn't go through because you have no signal. Then you'll see an emergency text option on the iPhone or satellite SOS icon on the Pixel. And it doesn't matter what carrier you have; this feature should work regardless. Now, a really, really important note on emergency SOS via satellite: you should not use this unless it's a real emergency, which is why I'm not calling 911 in this video. I hope that's obvious, but I do want to say it out loud. Instead, there's a demo mode on both the Pixel and the iPhone that we can run through to show you how each would work in a real emergency setting. On the iPhone 14 and later, that's in Settings, Emergency SOS, and scroll down to find the demo under Emergency SOS via satellite. This will turn off cell on your phone temporarily and prompt you to move around to get a clear view of the sky. Now, you might need to keep moving the phone around to keep you pointed at the satellites. On the Pixel 9 series, you can go to Settings, Safety and Emergency, and then find

satellite SOS and try a demo. You'll need to move your phone around to get that satellite icon to center in the shape on the screen, and I found on the picture it usually asks me to hold the phone fairly flat when it does establish the connection. Now, these demos don't show it, but in a real emergency, you'd actually be given a list of questions to answer about the emergency that's happening to help expedite the response. Now, one important thing to note, if you're using a Pixel, that Google Messages will need to be your default messaging app. You'll also need to keep your grip on the bottom half of the phone with the top edges exposed to get the best signal. When it comes to availability, there are some big differences in where you can get access to emergency SOS features. For now, Google Satellite SOS is only available in the US and not in Alaska or Hawaii. Thanks to the 2-year head start that Apple's got, Emergency SOS via Satellite is available in 17 countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Japan.

the UK and the US. Google has said that it will be free for the first 2 years on Pixel devices, while Apple also has a 2-year free period. But the company recently said that it would extend free access for the iPhone 14 until November 2025. So, both the iPhone 14 and 15 series will have it for free until then. Hopefully, you'll never need to use either emergency SOS via satellite or satellite SOS, but just in case, you should set up your emergency contacts ahead of time. I know, I know, I sound like your mom, but this is really important. So, if you do need help, your emergency contacts can get notified if you request help through the satellite feature on the iPhone. Go to the health app and then summary, tap your profile picture, then medical ID, then edit, and here you can edit your contact. You might also want to fill out your medical ID info as well if you haven't already. On the Pixel, go to the personal safety app, then your info and emergency contacts. Yes, Apple has had satellite features for longer than Google's phones.

and as you'd expect, there are more things that you can do on the iPhone. Number one, you can contact roadside assistants via satellite. If you have a flat tire or mechanical issue and you don't have a signal, go to the messages app and then start typing roadside into the recipient bar, and it should pop up with roadside assistance via satellite. This only works in the US so far. Number two, you can also share your location off the grid without messaging anybody. Go to the Find My app and tap the Me tab, then My Location via Satellite. This should be available in the same list of countries that emergency SOS is available in. And in iOS 18, you'll also be able to send messages via satellite to friends and family, not just during emergencies. When you're connected, the Dynamic Island will expand to keep you pointed in the right direction of the satellite, and you can text people as normal. Emojis and tapbacks should also work. This is available in the US at first when iOS 18 launches in the fall, with other countries rolling out later.

I'm expecting Google to roll out some more features over time, just like Apple has. In the meantime, Verizon in the US has confirmed that it will bring satellite texting to the Pixel 9 series in the fall, and then the upcoming Galaxy S25 series, also partnering with Boo. You might be wondering how the satellite messaging features we've just talked about differ from something like T-Mobile's partnership with Starlink or AT&T in Verizon's A Space Mobile deal. Well, those satellite services use wireless airwaves that are already found in existing devices, while Skylo and Global Star's connections use a different part of the spectrum called L and S bands. That's why you need a compatible phone with the right hardware. I truly hope you'll never need to use the emergency part of those satellite features, but hopefully now you have a bit more of an idea about how they work. Thanks so much for watching, and I'll catch you next time. See you.

Apple은 2022년 iPhone 14에 위성 SOS 기능을 도입했고, Google은 2년 후 Pixel 9 시리즈에 해당 기능을 출시했습니다.

두 기능 모두 사용자가 Wi-Fi 또는 휴대폰 신호가 없을 때 위성을 통해 긴급 구조대에 문자를 보낼 수 있는 기능으로, 통신 위성을 사용하여 메시지를 전달합니다.

긴급 SOS 기능은 사용자의 통신사에 관계없이 사용할 수 있으며 실제 긴급 상황에서만 사용해야 하며, 두 기기 모두에서 데모 모드 제공하여 프로세스를 시뮬레이션할 수 있습니다.

Google의 위성 SOS는 강한 신호를 위해 휴대폰이 평평해야 하며 현재 알래스카와 하와이를 제외한 미국에서만 사용할 수 있습니다.

Apple의 위성을 통한 긴급 SOS는 17개국에서 사용할 수 있는 더 넓은 범위의 서비스이며, 2025년 11월까지 iPhone 14 및 15 시리즈에 대한 무료 액세스를 연장하고 있습니다.

두 플랫폼 모두 긴급 상황 발생 시 적시에 도움을 받을 수 있도록 비상 연락처를 설정하는 것이 중요합니다.

iPhone은 타이어 펑크나 기계적 문제 발생 시 위성을 통한 긴급출동 서비스를 제공하며, 미국에서만 이용할 수 있습니다.

사용자는 나의 위치 찾기 앱을 통해 자신의 위치를 외부에 공유할 수 있으며, iOS 18에서 친구와 가족에게 위성 메시지를 보낼 수 있습니다.

다이나믹 아일랜드는 사용자에게 위성으로 안내하여 일반 문자 메시지, 이모티콘, 탭백을 사용할 수 있도록 합니다.

Google은 시간이 지남에 따라 더 많은 기능을 출시할 예정이며, Verizon은 Pixel 9 시리즈와 Galaxy S25 시리즈에 대한 위성 문자 메시지를 확인했습니다.

위성 메시징 서비스는 L 및 S 대역을 사용한다는 점에서 T-Mobile 및 AT&T의 파트너십과 다르며, 적합한 하드웨어를 갖춘 호환 휴대폰이 필요합니다.

트위터는 시청자가 긴급 위성 기능을 사용할 필요가 없기를 바라지만, 작동 방식에 대한 이해를 높이는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.
