Apple will add satellite messaging support to the iMessage application with the new iOS version, iOS 18. The announcement of the innovation in question was made in the opening speech of WWDC 2024.
Thanks to the new feature, those who are away from the grid will be able to connect with their loved ones even if they do not have a traditional internet connection. This feature will be available on iPhone 14 and newer phones updated to iOS 18.
This is just one of the many new iMessage features Apple introduced during its annual developer event. Soon users will be able to schedule messages and tap back with any emoji. New message effects can also be created. Apple now offers new formatting for bold, underline, strikethrough, and italics.
iOS 18 update does not only bring innovations for iMessage
Other new iOS 18 updates include a more customizable home screen and new privacy features that require authentication to use individual apps.
