Smartphone Tips: You have been using a phone for years, but have you ever asked yourself if you are familiar with every single feature it offers? One such feature is 'Flight Mode,' also known as 'Airplane Mode.' You will find this feature on every smartphone. Many people believe it is meant solely for use while traveling on a plane, but that is not the case; it serves several other useful purposes as well.
What is Airplane Mode?
Airplane Mode is a feature found not only on phones but also on tablets and even laptops. It is a setting that instantly disables all wireless transmission functions, such as Wi-Fi, cellular data, and Bluetooth connectivity. The feature was primarily designed to prevent devices from emitting signals that could interfere with an aircraft's communication and navigation systems.
Benefits of Flight Mode
Flight Mode blocks all incoming and outgoing wireless signals on your mobile. If you are in an area with poor network coverage, your phone constantly searches for a signal, which leads to rapid battery drainage. Airplane Mode comes in handy in such situations; turning it on stops the signal-searching process, thereby significantly conserving battery life.
Many people keep features like the internet and location services active while charging their phones. However, if you want to charge your phone faster, you should enable Airplane Mode during the process. It is said that using this mode can increase charging speed by 20 to 25 percent compared to normal charging.
When handing your phone to children for gaming or watching videos, there is always a risk they might accidentally press a button that alters settings or places an unwanted call. Turning on Airplane Mode before handing the phone to them disables mobile data, ensuring they cannot access the internet or make calls.
