    Hehe no. It is text/emoji only. Best used in places where cell networks don’t exist, go down, or become saturated, or some combination.

      Oh. Not even 20 years in the future? Never would have expected the fediverse or iPhones that can talk to satellites.

        It could certainly easily be added as another backup communication method built into phones, yes. But among many other reasons, Apple doesn’t touch anything “open”, so if anything they would implement their own LoRa protocol.

        But it will never replace photos/videos/files or other functionality that iMessage supports, it’s a limitation of the technology.
