Here's how to access and use the satellite demo:


On iPhone:

  1. Open Settings: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone. 
  2. Go to Emergency SOS: Tap on "Emergency SOS". 
  3. Find the Demo: Scroll down and tap on the "Demo" option. 
  4. Follow Instructions: The demo will walk you through the process of connecting to a satellite, whether for Emergency SOS or for sending messages via satellite. 
  5. Practicing Connecting to Satellite: To learn how to connect to a satellite, tap Try Connecting to Satellite. 
  6. Practicing Emergency SOS: To learn how Emergency SOS via satellite works, tap Try Emergency SOS.
