After a series of carrier service outages, satellite messaging in Android 15 may bring stability

What you need to know

  • Last week, Google News and Verizon joined a growing list of critical services facing widespread disruptions in 2024.
  • Both services are back up and running, but the Verizon outage specifically left users unable to communicate for hours.
  • These issues call into question the reliability of websites and messaging services, but the satellite connection may be able to help.

It doesn’t seem like it, but we’re almost halfway through 2024. So far, it hasn’t been a great year for critical digital infrastructure services. Carriers like AT&T and Verizon suffered major outages, Google News was briefly down, and iMessage became unavailable at various points this year as well. Service outages are inevitable, but we’ve seen some big ones that could have had massive consequences.

Most recently, Google News/Discover and Verizon had service outages late last week in unrelated incidents. In the grand scheme of things, Google News becoming unavailable for a few hours probably isn’t that big of a deal. The same can’t be said for the other service outages we’ve seen so far this year. Verizon’s problem caused thousands of users in many states to lose connection between the evening of Thursday, May 30, and midday on Friday, May 31.
