Google is reportedly developing a new feature called 'Satellite SOS' for its Pixel smartphones. This feature will provide users with emergency assistance by allowing them to call or text emergency services, share their location using Google Maps, and answer questions about their emergency. The feature is currently in development and is expected to roll out in the coming months, starting with Pixel smartphones.
The Satellite SOS feature will be accessible through the safety and emergency settings on Pixel devices, placed between Emergency SOS and Car Crash Detection. While the feature is not yet fully functional, users with rooted Pixel smartphones can access a preview of what is to come. The Satellite SOS menu on these devices provides a link to a support page that lists service details and the countries where the feature will be available.
It is worth noting that Apple already offers similar features on select iPhone models in certain regions. However, Google's Satellite SOS feature aims to provide a comparable emergency assistance service specifically for Pixel users. While Google has not officially announced the availability of this feature, it is evident that the company is actively working on it. The feature is expected to expand to other Android devices in the future.
