It’s Airplane mode, but who says you can’t use it off the flight? Many travelers think the only time to put their devices in this mode when they are aboard a plane. This misconception is largely because of the name of the feature. But we say this is not right. The advantages that Airplane mode brings forth go beyond the flight, and you could actually derive more out of your phone by using the feature even off the plane. So what are the top reasons to engage Airplane mode even when you are not flying?
Most people engage Airplane mode when they want to avoid an annoying caller without necessarily putting them in a black list, or switching off their devices. The other reasons include;
Speeding up charging
In the world where devices support fast charging, you wouldn’t mind about enabling airplane mode when charging. But if your device does not support fast charging, you can reduce charging time by enabling airplane mode.
Extending battery life
Airplane mode cuts off all battery draining wireless connectivity like Bluetooth, Wifi, cellular data among others. By cutting communication off, the number of times you light up your device’s screen to check for incoming notifications will almost be zero, hence extending battery life.
Increasing concentration
The best way to concentrate on important aspects of your life if to unplug! You might have set aside alone time for mindful reflection, personal projects or just relaxation. Having your phone constantly ringing and buzzing will break the concentration. Putting it in Airplane mode can get you the mental comfort of checking your phone only compulsively, but not because of the need to check what the notification is about.
Fixing Network problems
Sometimes you may realize that your device is not getting signal and the next thing you want to attempt is restarting your phone. Switching on Airplane mode produces the similar results like restarting a phone or tablet. Airplane mode restarts all networking services without necessarily rebooting your device. This saves you from waiting for longer restart times.
Saving data
There maybe automatic downloads, app updates, and many background services that might be eating up your data bundle. Sometimes you set up your devices like this because you want your apps to be updated regularly. Turning on Airplane mode in times you dont want your devices to use your data is more simpler than constantly altering settings.
