As its name suggests, the airplane mode has been designed to be able to have the mobile on a flight without having to turn it off . This easy-to-activate setting disables all wireless communications from your smartphone.
With airplane mode on, you won’t be able to receive messages, calls, or browse the Internet, or use GPS, NFC, and other forms of wireless communication. Although at first glance it seems to you that they are all disadvantages, it is rather the opposite.
We tell you how to get the most out of airplane mode on your mobile even if you don’t travel in this mode of transport. Not to mention that it can help you disconnect and relax at specific moments.
It will allow you to save battery
One of the most frequent uses for this mode is to save battery, because you deactivate the mobile network. It is not something that you are going to use frequently because the use of your smartphone is very limited, but if you are away from home with almost no battery and you think you may need your mobile it will be extremely practical. It will help you get where you need without fear of running out of battery, or you can use it from time to time to make it last longer.
Imagine that you have to meet someone and you are afraid of not being able to locate him, if you activate this mode until you arrive, then you will have energy left to call him or send him a message telling him where you are. Thus, your mobile will not leave you “thrown” at the least opportune moment.
Avoid connecting to roaming in other countries
If you are traveling to another country and you are afraid of inadvertently activating roaming , you can use this mode. When before the costs increased in certain countries, without going any further France or Portugal that we have next door, it was very practical to be able to have the mobile at hand without fear of surprises on the bill.
Now there are still certain countries where, if it is activated and you connect to the Internet or make a call, your bill can be increased considerably.
If you are in another country and you are not sure if you are going to be charged or not for Internet connections, you can remove the data or directly put the airplane mode and heal yourself.
Read and reply to messages without getting caught
With SMS there is no doubt, but in the case of messaging sites like WhatsApp, Telegram or social networks, other people can easily tell if you are online or have read a message . There are ways around this, but you may not want to activate them or they are simply not your best option, or they may not be enough.
Thus, with the airplane mode activated, you can read the messages or statuses of whoever you want without the pressure of having to respond at the moment. Of course, when you remove this mode, it will appear that you have read it.
You can also use it to reply to messages from multiple people, or just one, without anyone knowing you’re online. You just have to activate the airplane mode in the quick settings of your mobile, see what they have written to you, answer and exit the application. When you have done so, you remove airplane mode and all the messages you have sent will be sent. Without anyone seeing you online, they know that you write to other people and without the need to reply to who you don’t want.
