Oh that’s super helpful! This would have been extremely helpful for us when we were driving cross country in the states and blew our tire in the middle of no where. We had to wait overnight to get help from a random person going by. It was hell.

I tested it a Zion NP last weekend. The service is free for two years, which includes uploading your location via satellite. It only allows you to do it every 15 minutes. When you see the satellite symbol (which appears when you have no cellular signal), go to the Find My app and select “send my location via satellite.” Anyone who shares location with you will then be able to see where you are along with a note that the location was updated via satellite since you have no cellular signal. It took ~28 seconds each time to connect to the satellite and send the location. It guides you to (slightly) move the phone to stay locked onto the satellite as it’s sending.

Careful about speaker and mic they all work with magnets i also work at metal work all the time speakers reduce performance after almost a year

They are at highschool according to previous posts, so in this case, probably not.

Any way to disable it?

I believe that it shows it when there is no service, but it sees a satellite. When we drove under trees we still had no service, but the icon went away.

My first thought was it looked like a shakeweight, then I read the comments and saw it was a satellite. Totally makes more sense!

He has one, just has no service to connect to it

Does that mean you are connected to a satellite or it’s just showing that since you have no data, you have the option to connect to a satellite?

Blu tacks good for this too.

I get a small piece of gorilla tape and stick it to the metal shavings and they all come off. I do it on the air pods case though but should work for you too!

You cannot merge backups, no. You would’ve needed to transfer them when setting up the phone.

Wow

I hate the fact that 3 finger tap accidentally activates buttons you press on the screen when it should only bring up the undo menu.

iOS 16 still has a few bugs to iron out. Give it a bit

So this uses the ultra band chip which is available in the newer generation devices, ie upwards of iPhone 13 series, AirPods Pro 2, M1 Macs.

Since you mentioned it is a older gen that is why you keep getting the notifications. Due to the improvements in ultra band you get precise location information, like tracking it to the device itself, like how you find a device that it tagged to your AirTags.

I turned off Siri suggestions in the share sheet thing, now it loads so much faster.

You can’t mess up an empty list

Well shit, now The Shining is an anachronism.
