After the first discovery more than a year ago, things are now slowly becoming concrete. Google is planning to introduce a completely new satellite function for Android. The launch will be signaled by the Pixel 9, which also features new hardware. Now there are recordings of new software that will finally be introduced with Android 15.
Satellite function requires “a clear view of the sky”.
The footage shows how the Android app guides you to connect to the satellite. If a connection is possible, the user can send messages through it. Although primarily SOS messages are not available when mobile communications are available, sending general messages to other users may also be a capability of the new function.
Apple’s introduction of satellite functions was a big deal, but it already happened two years ago in September 2024. So Google will eventually have to follow suit, and will likely do so this fall.
