Last week, Google managed to reach a more valuable point in the eyes of users when it added end-to-end encryption to its favorite messaging application. With the introduction of this feature, the security of personal messages has been ensured. The company, which finds such a solution for privacy, can add another feature to make the application useful in emergencies.
It has already been said that this feature will be offered to the user when the necessary hardware conditions are met. Now, when we look at the emerging data, we see that the software foundations have been laid for the feature in question.
On the face of it, it’s not much different from standard messaging.
But still, the little details stand out. For example, inside the text box it says Satellite message. Next to the submit button, there is a small indicator expressing the character limit, but we can think that this is an inconsistency since it says “-1” even though nothing has been written yet.
If we can send our own SOS message instead of using pre-made messages from Apple – which we understand from the current interface – this can help Google get ahead. But it should not be forgotten that we may be looking at an unfinished interface as well. This means that pre-made messages can be added later.
While Google is trying to deliver this feature as quickly as possible, Qualcomm has announced that it will offer the necessary hardware in Snapdragon chips. This indicates that we may see this feature earlier than usual, especially on Pixel models.
It seems that emergency messages will be added to the things that the competition is developing rapidly. Aside from the competition between companies, it is really pleasing to see such developments. What are you thinking.
