This feature is such a good addition. It was a big reason I upgraded to the iPhone 14 pro last year. We do a lot of hiking as a family and even though most of our hikes take place in the surrounding areas of a major metropolitan region, we often find ourselves in spots with no cell phone reception. Having the ability to call for help in those areas, while I may never actually need it, is a nice feeling.

Thank you for working on this! I love Mlem and am excited to see how it develops.
Very excited to see this! Any place/site we can follow progress and maybe get access to a TestFlight link once available?
One would hope but it’s also terrifying just how small a number of people you need to go full fascist/theocracy. I think Hitler only had the support of 30% of the population at one point. With the way the U.S. electoral system is set up, you don’t need many people to believe a certain way to steer the ship in the wrong direction. That terrifies me.
I agree. Discord is a bad replacement and frustrating as hell to use. They’re trying to get people to use the new Discord forum feature which is a little better visually but it doesn’t solve the other issues you raise.
That's the crash detection feature; the feature referenced in this article is the ability to use satellite communications in the event that you need help but don't have cell phone reception.
