Some European Pixel 9 users are seeing the Emergency SOS feature after updating to Android 15 QPR2 Beta 3.

While they're able to access the feature through Settings and also do the satellite pointing demo, it's unclear if ESOS is actually rolling out in Europe.

This is because while Skylo does support Europe, Google hasn't confirmed whether it's signed a partnership with Garmin or another emergency services provider to actually respond to ESOS reports in Europe.

At launch, this feature was officially only made available in the U.S.

BTW: Android 16 Beta 1 might be coming tomorrowโ€ฆ

Google told me that the Pixel 9 will get beta access to Androidโ€™s improved LE Audio support for hearing aids tomorrow (Jan 23)โ€ฆand in their press release, they said these improvements will be available through the Android 16 beta.

That means it's likely Beta 1 is coming tomorrow, though Google wouldn't explicitly confirm that. Still, thatโ€™s not too surprising since Google already said itโ€™d come sometime in January.
