Google unveiled the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold a couple of days ago, but it seemingly forgot to announce a first-ever feature, which it only got to today.
Namely, that these phones will be the first to offer support for placing WhatsApp voice and video calls via satellite connectivity. This feature was announced today, and it will start working on August 28, as you can see in the X post below.

Obviously, there is some fine print – you will need to be on a participating carrier, which may charge you extra to use this function. Undoubtedly, more information will be forthcoming from carriers in the next few days as we approach the release date.
