Couldn't find Satellite connectivity demo options in iPhone 16 Pro
Hi,
I recently bought iPhone 16 pro (running iOS 18.6.2), and was looking for the Satellite demo, but couldn't find it on the iPhone.
These are the places I searched that option/button on iPhone:
- Settings > Apps > Messages > Satellite Connection Demo
- Control Center > Satellite
- Emergency SOS > Emergency SOS via Satellite
However I could see that my location is being used by Satellite connection:
Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Satellite Connection [ON with grey arrow]
Also, I contacted Apple support (Case ID is already created) for this matter. However they suggested to ask my Carrier provider if they provide Satellite support. Not sure if this is related to the carrier provider, because if that's the case i used another sim (my wife's sim, whose iPhone 14 pro max supports & shows these satellite options) to check on that issue, and still the problem persisted.
I am sure i missed some step during my setup, thats why the option itself is not present. Also not sure if resetting the iPhone would help.
Any help in this regard is really appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
