Missing Satellite icon on my iPhone after iOS 18.2 update

Looking at this support document from Apple, Connect to a satellite with your iPhone - Apple Support

you are not going to find anything in Setting for Satellite connection if you have a cellular or wi-fi connection currently. I don't see anything in Control Panel to add either. However, If you go to the connections widget I see in the upper left corner of my screen,

where you Airplane Mode, etc. tap in there by one of the greyed out controls. That will open a page showing all of the controls similar to the view you see in the support document I provided. You can tap on the Satellite demo in that group. I just don't believe you can see any of the other info about Satellite if you have current connections on your device.

If you checked everything in the link I provided, my only thought would be to contact Apple Support. First, be sure you are in a place that supports it.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
