Google is rumored to be adding an Emergency SOS feature similar to Apple's to the Pixel 9 and the next Pixel Fold, potentially partnering with T-Mobile to offer the service. The feature would prompt users with a series of questions to assess the situation and align the phone with a satellite for emergency messaging. T-Mobile had previously announced a partnership with SpaceX for satellite messaging, while Garmin was also mentioned as a potential provider. The cost of the feature, whether through T-Mobile or Garmin, remains uncertain.
