The Pixel 10 models will be the first smartphones to support WhatsApp voice and video calls through satellite connectivity. This feature officially activates on August 28, providing users with a reliable option when networks fail.
However, there are some conditions to note. Access requires a participating carrier, and additional charges may apply for using satellite calls. Google has assured that more details from carriers will arrive before the rollout, ensuring users understand the service requirements.
