IOS 18.5 Update, Apple Expands The Presence Of Emergency SOS Features To IPhone 13 Users

JAKARTA - Apple has released iOS 18.5, which is expanding the emergency SOS satellite feature for iPhone 13 owners for the first time, having previously only been available to iPhone 14 users or later.

The iOS 18.5 update is focused on providing access to operator satellite services, such as from T-Mobile (with Starlink). You can check if you have access to this feature from the Cellular menu under iPhone Settings.

This feature is designed to be usable at critical times when cellular or Wi-Fi signals are not available, and allows users to contact emergency services, send text via satellite.

To connect to the satellite, you must be outdoors with a clear view of the sky and horizon. When you use a satellite connection, the experience is different from sending or receiving messages via cellular.

Dengan fitur ini, Anda dapat membagikan ID Medis dan memberitahui kontak darurat Anda. Jadi, sebaiknya Anda perlu mengatur informasi ini sebelum pergi ke suatu tempat tanpa panjang cellular dan Wi-Fi.

In addition to expanding the Emergency SOS feature, the development of iOS 18.5 also brings other updates and improvements to the smartphone.

At least, there are more than 30 problems that have been fixed and some of them include Bluetooth, FaceTime, and other features.

Apple has also fixed the particular problems felt by iPhone 16 users since the device was distributed. The problem is the vulnerability that causes attackers, under certain conditions, to be able to tap the traffic network.

Apple has also fixed issues related to CoreAudio, AppleJPEG, and other security exploitation issues.
