  • We were able to enable satellite messaging options in Google Messages.
  • Users should automatically get the option to connect to a satellite when they are outside cellular/Wi-Fi coverage.
  • Group chats may not be supported on a satellite connection.

It’s no secret that Android 15 supports satellite messaging. But having support doesn’t mean anyone with an Android 15 device can start texting using satellite connectivity. The service needs carrier support. Just yesterday, T-Mobile announced that its satellite messaging service, in collaboration with Starlink, is going into beta testing mode. Once services like these go live, you’ll finally be able to use satellite messaging on your Android 15 device.
