Android 15 to Feature Satellite Messaging in Google Messages

The new functionality will allow users to text anyone, including emergency services, without mobile or Wi-Fi connectivity.

Google is introducing satellite connectivity support with Android 15, allowing messaging without mobile or Wi-Fi.
The feature, found in a beta version of Google Messages, enables users to text anyone, including emergency services.
Unlike Apple's iPhone, which restricts satellite messaging to emergency services, Android's version allows messaging with any contact.
The functionality requires users to be outside with a clear view of the sky and may not support photos or videos.
Google has reportedly partnered with Garmin to enhance the effectiveness of Android 15's satellite messaging.
