The Google Messages app seems to be gearing up to enable users to send emergency SOS messages via satellite.
Rahman points out that the current SOS functionality is merely a placeholder within the app. Its presence doesn't confirm that upcoming Pixel phones or other devices will support satellite communication. But, it does show Google wants to fit this service into its messaging app instead of making a whole new one.
Putting the emergency SOS via satellite into the Google Messages app makes sense because that's the default texting app on most. However, specifics remain unclear, such as which phones will support this feature and the exact implementation by Google. Speculation points toward the potential inclusion of this feature in the future
