A notable example of its effectiveness was in the Angeles National Forest, where two injured individuals were rescued after their car fell off a mountain, thanks to the satellite communication service. Additional features include location sharing via the Find My app, Crash Detection, and Check In for safety notifications. The service, requiring iOS 17, is available for users who activated their iPhone 14 before November 15, 2023.
