Why does this feel like an ad
It's a genuinely good feature, we're going to continue seeing positive stories like this as more people use it in life threatening situations.
It’s made me think about situations I might end up in that would benefit from this extra layer of safety where previously I’ve just YOLO’d and not gotten unlucky.

Because it is. Apple does this shit all time and it's enfuriating. Especially considering Android offers exactly the same feature so there's no "thanking" a brand when both major platforms do this. People just lap it up though.
Which Android phones have satellite access? I saw Qualcomm came out with hardware in the beginning of the year that can also sms over satellite but haven't seen an Android phone with it yet.
