Tip: how the Find My function in Apple's iPhone14 series shares location via satellite

CTOnews.com, November 16 (Xinhua)-- Apple today launched its emergency assistance SOS service via satellite communications in the United States and Canada. Although this feature is designed to be used in a real emergency, Apple users can also share their location with others in the event of a disconnection.

CTOnews.com learned that to achieve this feature, you need to run iOS 16.1 or later iPhone 14 models, and it is best to update your device by "Settings"-> "General"-> "Software updates" before you try it. In addition, the cellular network and Wi-Fi need to be disconnected during use so that this feature can be displayed.

The steps are as follows

1. Open the Find My application on iPhone 14

two。 Click the Me tab

3. Slide up, see "through Satellite Positioning", and then click on the location where I am sent.

In this way, when you are in an outdoor area where there is no Internet signal, you can share your location with your family and friends in a timely manner through this function. In addition to emergency calls and find me, iPhone 14 series satellite connections can be used in conjunction with other functions on iPhone and Apple Watch, including collision detection and crash detection.

Please note that Apple's satellite service has been available for free for two years since the activation of iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The satellite emergency call and satellite Find My service was launched in the United States and Canada today and will be launched in France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom in December.
