Google Developing Satellite SOS for Pixel 9 to Send Emergency Messages Without Cell Service
- Google is working on a satellite SOS interface for the Pixel 9 series to allow messaging when outside of network coverage
- It will have a UI to help users aim the phone at satellites, starting full screen but can be minimized
- Users will need to be outdoors with a clear view of the sky for the best signal
- The questions asked are to give emergency services critical info to respond
- Carrier support is required; T-Mobile is mentioned, unclear if Google Fi will support it
