Have you ever needed to disconnect quickly—maybe to save battery, avoid distractions, or manage your wireless connections? That’s where Flight Mode comes in. You can turn Flight Mode on in appropriate situations, and also turn it off as it pleases you.
Picture this: you’re boarding a plane, the cabin lights dim, and the flight attendant reminds everyone to switch off their wireless connections. You reach for your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, and in that moment, Flight Mode becomes your best friend. But here’s the thing: as already mentioned, it is not just for flying. It is also a handy trick for saving battery, cutting distractions, or resetting your connections when your phone acts up.
With just a tap or a swipe, you can switch it on or off in seconds. Whether you’re using a Samsung Galaxy or an iPhone, here are four simple ways to turn Flight Mode on and off.
