▼ + stars: | 2024-10-09 | by ( Jordan Hart | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Hurricane Milton may disrupt power and cell service in Florida. iPhone 14 and later models with iOS 18 offer satellite messaging when cell service is unavailable. Here's how to make sure your iPhone is set up to send satellite messages if Hurricane Milton topples the connectivity in your area. You can also send satellite messages via SMS to mobile numbers that aren't iPhones, but you have to message them first before their messages reach you, according to Apple's website. Still, satellite messaging can allow families to connect and let each other know they're safe during Hurricane Milton.

CNN —Pope Francis has chosen 21 new cardinals in a move that once again shows his determination to reshape the group of churchmen who will elect his successor. Also among the new cardinals announced by the pope on Sunday are bishops from Indonesia, Algeria, Japan and the Ivory Coast. At the time of the pope’s announcement, there were 122 cardinals under 80 and able to vote in a future conclave. Church law technically limits the number of such cardinals to 120, but previous popes have also gone over that number. Cardinals are second only to the pope in the church hierarchy, hold senior positions in the Vatican and act as the pope’s main advisers.
