Can the Garmin Epix pro Gen2 receive inReach messages from a Garmin inReach?

I am going into The NZ backcountry and am wondering if there is a way for me to receive Garmin inReach messages with the epix pro gen2, from my friend who will be a few ridges over with his garmin inReach. I have ordered the Garmin epix pro gen2 watch. Thanks!
