That’s still not here yet, but a recent app update reveals text strings that hint at how things will work. Users will be able to share their location once every 15 minutes, with a daily limit on maximum shares. Satellite support is changing the rules of the game when it comes to mobile connectivity, and we are still right now only in the early days of its evolution.
