As someone in the military, training environments often leave me cut off from the world, unable to connect with friends and family for weeks at a time. But being able to use satellite texting is an absolute game changer. While it’s not viable for operational use due to safety and security concerns, it’s fantastic for downtime during training. This is one of the many reasons I’m sticking with iOS for the foreseeable future.

@dieseldragon67564 ай бұрын
@@b2bgood870 I _think_ the idea is that it should give the same feel as normal messaging over iMessage, but there will be some key differences. As the messages have to be compressed and transmissions as short as possible (The primary concern here is keeping data length minimal, and satellite uses MUCH more battery than mobile networks) they'll tend to be batched, so you'll get all pending messages sent to your phone all at once when you connect to the satellite, and any messages you've queued for sending will go up at the same time. ↔ One key limitation to understand is that iMessage *won't* transmit or download attachments, videos or voice notes. The data transfer burden that would incur is extraordinary, and the intent of iMessage over Sat is to maintain simple human connections over SMS-like messages, *not* to deliver a full multimedia experience. 😇

I'm curious was to whether Find My would work if a fried or family initiated it. I know they can't initiate a message unless they are in a family group or on the emergency list. does this hold true for Find My as well or is it a one shot deal where the sender just uploads a current position?

Absolutely incredible. Kudos to Apple for creating this genuinely useful and life-saving technology.

I noticed this today when I was out hiking. I almost tested it but it said the person I was going to text didnt have the software to recieve the message. Either way I was excited when I saw it.

For everyone who always works off grid, on a hike or in the middle of the ocean, this might be a game changer.
