  • With the launch of Android 15 earlier this week, Google officially brought satellite messaging support to the operating system.
  • However, the feature is not active, and there are still many questions about how it will eventually work.
  • Google has given Android Authority a few statements that shed a bit more light on the situation — but we still lack full clarity.

Earlier this week, Google launched the stable Android 15 update for Pixel smartphones. In its press release, which was distributed to the media before the launch, it had a single sentence about what is probably the most significant addition to the operating system: satellite messaging support. That single sentence is here:

Carrier messaging apps can use satellite connectivity to send and receive messages without a mobile or Wi-Fi connection.
