Hi all!
I'm heading to the backcountry this weekend, and know that iOS 26 will have 'weather updates via satellite', where in addition to satellite texting/emergency SOS, you can also request weather updates via satellite when you don't have any cellular connection.

Does anyone running the beta know if this feature is live yet? I'd rather not upgrade until final release, but really could use emergency weather updates this weekend and will update to the public beta if this feature is working.

Thanks!
