iPhone users on iOS 18 can now send iMessages and SMS texts via satellite.

The feature is available in the US and Canada , but it'll probably roll out to more markets soon.

To use the feature in iOS 18 , you'll need to be in an area with no cellular coverage or Wi-Fi networks.

You'll have to find a satellite and establish a connection before sending messages.

It's free of charge if you're in a supported region.
