Apple’s Emergency SOS via Satellite was a revolutionary safety feature when it was launched with the iPhone 14, and it has since saved lives around the world. Initially, it would connect stranded users to first responders and allow very brief text message exchanges.
For iOS 18, however, Apple is greatly expanding the feature, so that it allows for longer messages — and even video. Now RapidSOS has announced support for this ability for a stranded user to be able to show first responders their condition and environment.
