Android smartphones may get emergency satellite messaging thanks to Garmin

[Redaktion]

Google could use the Garmin Response Center to offer Emergency Satellite messaging to Android users. Snippets of code found in the latest Google Message app update suggest that the two companies are working together on the solution. However, neither brand has confirmed the feature or indicated a release date.

It is worth noting that Garmin users must have an inReach Subscription Plan to use this feature

What is really worth noting is that the feature will require your Android phone to have hardware capable of communicating with satellites. Which most phones do not.
