VIVA – A report from PCMag suggests that the iPhone users may get more satellite-powered features in the future. In an FCC filing, Apple's partner Globalstar hinted that the Cupertino-based company is looking to expand satellite-powered features on the iPhone.

Apple introduced the emergency SOS via satellite feature on the iPhone 14 series. Using this feature, one can send an Emergency SOS via satellite to text emergency services when one is out of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage.

A user can also use the Find My app to share location with others via satellite.

According to reports, this feature can be extended to voice and internet calls. This FCC filing coincides with plans from T-Mobile and SpaceX to power satellite internet services for unmodified T-Mobile smartphones.

Here is how to use emergency SOS via satellite, free for two years upon activation of an iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro currently available in the United States.

Hold the phone naturally in your hand. You don't need to raise your hand or lift the phone, but don't put it in your pocket or backpack.

Make sure you are outdoors with a clear view of the sky and horizon.

Be aware that trees with thin foliage can slow down the connection, and dense foliage can block it. Hills or mountains, canyons, and tall buildings can also block the connection.

If you need to turn left or right or move to avoid an obstructed signal, iPhone will provide guidance, just follow the on-screen instructions.

The satellite connection can be maintained even if the phone screen is locked. 

Once connected, iPhone will initiate a text conversation with emergency responders by sharing important information such as Medical ID and emergency contact information (if you have set one up), answers to emergency questionnaires, location (including altitude), and remaining iPhone battery life.
