Samsung Galaxy Phones Gain Direct Satellite App Connectivity
• Samsung has revealed a list of apps that can function directly via satellite on compatible Galaxy phones, enabling communication even without cellular network coverage.
• Users can find these satellite-ready apps by navigating to Settings > Connections > Satellite on their device.
• The feature relies on partnerships with cellular network operators in Europe, Japan, and North America, rather than direct collaboration with satellite providers.
• While functionality varies by region, generally Galaxy S22 or newer devices, and in some markets select Galaxy A series phones, support this direct satellite communication.
The following apps are currently listed as satellite-ready:
- Find My Mobile
- Google Maps
- Google Play Services
- Grok
- Messenger (Facebook)
- Messages
- Samsung Account
- Samsung Find
- Samsung Health
- Weather
