The Apple iPhone 14 series introduced the capability to transmit SOS messages in an emergency through satellite.
The main objective of this function, which is to save lives, is to ensure people's safety.
You can send text messages using this capability without a cellular connection or Wi-Fi.
Another life has now been rescued by this function, but this time the entire group was also spared.
NBC News reported that a group of young people trekking in Southern California lost their way.
The ten hikers were in a canyon in the Los Padres National Forest when the youngsters became separated from the group and wandered aimlessly for three hours.
Deputy Sheriff Mackenzie Spears of Ventura County claims that most hikers are unprepared for their journey and become lost in challenging terrain.
Despite the fact that the route is very challenging, he adds that most people don T-shirts and shorts instead of the required hiking clothes.
Fortunately, one of the group members who went missing had his iPhone's emergency SOS feature turned on, and he used it to phone for assistance at 8 p.m.
Using this function, people can also communicate with relief personnel about their potential location and current circumstances.
After requesting help, the rescue crew searched for three hours before finding the group of kids and bringing them back.
The rescue crew claims that this is the largest number of young people they have ever saved in such dire circumstances, and none of them needed medical assistance.
