TL;DR<\/p>\n
Samsung phones recently gained a menu to display \u201csatellite-ready\u201d apps.
\nSupported apps include WhatsApp, Google Maps, Messages, and Samsung Find.
\nWe\u2019re guessing that this list doesn\u2019t apply to every satellite provider.<\/p>\n
Satellite connectivity<\/a> is one of the more recent additions to smartphones, and Samsung<\/a> is no exception. Which apps support satellite connectivity, though? Well, Samsung is apparently making things easier with this new menu.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Twitter tipster @theonecid<\/a> reports that Samsung phones now have a menu showing off \u201csatellite-ready\u201d apps. The menu is apparently accessible by tapping Settings > Connections > Satellite networks. Check out their screenshot below.<\/p>\n Apps listed in this menu include WhatsApp, X and X Lite, Google Messages, Google Maps, Facebook Messenger, Samsung Health, and Weather. The menu also lists Google Play Services, Samsung Find, Find My Mobile, and Samsung account.<\/p>\n \u201cThese apps on your phone work with a satellite connection,\u201d reads an accompanying description, suggesting that this list isn\u2019t exhaustive and only lists installed apps. So you might have to visit this menu on your Samsung phone to see if your favorite apps support satellite connectivity.<\/p>\n Have you used satellite connectivity on your phone?<\/p>\n 14 votes<\/p>\n Yes, it worked well<\/p>\n 0%<\/p>\n Yes, it worked okay<\/p>\n 0%<\/p>\n Yes, but it was a bad experience<\/p>\n 0%<\/p>\n No, but I’d like to try it<\/p>\n 86%<\/p>\n No, and I’m not interested in it<\/p>\n 14%<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that satellite connectivity features vary wildly across phones and networks. For example, Verizon\u2019s satellite service requires phones with dedicated hardware. This service supports emergency SOS and texting but lacks data connectivity. By contrast, T-Mobile and Starlink offer the T-Satellite service<\/a>. This service doesn\u2019t require phones with dedicated hardware and also supports data connections. In fact, T-Mobile\u2019s list of supported apps<\/a> has some cross-over with Samsung\u2019s list.<\/p>\n It therefore stands to reason that this list of satellite-ready apps might not apply to your carrier\u2019s satellite service, as your service might not support satellite data in the first place. But this should still make life easier if you\u2019re in the wilderness and you know your carrier offers satellite data.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768233971_656_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
