Many people switch their phones to Airplane Mode only when they are flying, but did you know that only using it during an airplane journey may not fully utilize its benefits? For some strange reason, Ghanaians even turn on airplane mode just to make their internet connectivity better. Despite its name, airplane mode offers numerous advantages, whether used on a plane or not.
Here are five reasons you should use airplane mode even when you’re not flying.
Airplane mode helps your phone charge faster
Turning on Airplane Mode before charging your phone can significantly improve its charging speed. Studies show that phones charge four times faster in this mode, as it doesn’t require energy for notifications, updates, or network connections. This in turn results in faster recharge and faster functionality.
Save phone battery
Your phone battery can last a lot longer when you activate Airplane Mode often. This happens because when the phone is in this mode, background applications, Wi-Fi, cellular data, and Bluetooth are all deactivated. This feature is particularly useful when battery life is dwindling and the phone needs to be operational until a charger is found.
Helps save data on SIM
Payment cards can be a significant waste of data due to automatic downloads, app updates, and streaming services. While it may not be expensive, spending more time topping off a SIM card can be less time sightseeing. Adjusting settings to prevent data leaks can save time, but returning home may require setting them back again. Airplane mode offers a quick and efficient solution.
Helps you focus
Distractions can be very annoying, particularly when working on creative projects, studying, or working at a job. Use Airplane Mode to battle this, which cuts off the internet connection and helps you focus on the subject at hand. To remain in the zone, don’t forget to switch to Airplane Mode when necessary.
Helps you avoid roaming charges
Airplane Mode is a feature that prevents a cell phone from accidentally connecting to foreign networks, preventing costly roaming charges. It allows users to connect to local WiFi networks and use Wi-Fi-based services like iMessage or WhatsApp to browse the internet or text. This is particularly useful for international travelers without a SIM card or roaming plan.
