T-Mobile’s Satellite Service Now Spies on Your WhatsApp

On a dazzling day in June 2025, T-Mobile boldly expanded its Starlink-powered 'T-Satellite' service, bravely connecting apps like WhatsApp, Google Maps, X (formerly Twitter), and the gloriously named T-Life customer app to satellites. Now, you can send WhatsApp texts, voice notes, images, group calls, and even dodge full media downloads on X—all while totally off-grid. This miracle costs either zero dollars for lucky T-Mobile subscribers or a modest $10 monthly subscription, ensuring you can chat in the wilderness without actual coverage. Supported on iPhones, Pixels, and Samsungs, it’s an app smorgasbord limited to critical, data-light tasks; so don’t expect a Netflix binge on the moon yet. From July launch’s modest texting and location-sharing to full-throttle social stalking, T-Mobile’s pulling a stealth upgrade remotely powered by Starlink’s satellites — invasion of privacy? No, an "expanded milestone!"
