The Google Pixel 9's satellite SOS runs on tech from Skylo and Garmin


Pixel's satellite SOS feature could roll out to more Android phones in the future as well.

Google has teamed up with Garmin and Skylo to let you send an SOS message via satellite if you're stuck somewhere with no cell service. During the Made by Google event earlier this week, Brian Rakowski, vice president for product management, announced that the new Pixel 9 series would be the inaugural Android devices to incorporate Satellite SOS. Garmin Response will then loop in local authorities like police, fire departments, search and rescue teams, and even international agencies if needed, to get help on the way.
