Keeping or putting your cell phone in airplane mode, despite not being in the air, has several benefits for the phone or, rather, for its user. Below is a quick guide to learn about and take advantage of this function, according to a BBC Mundo report.
Save battery
When in airplane mode, the cell phone or tablet reduces its activity to a maximum.
Why is it important, especially when there is no coverage? The device will try to find a network, which will significantly increase battery consumption.
Load faster
Finding that your battery is on the verge of death can be depressing and even catastrophic for many.
To optimize the duration of the charge when it is at its limit, it is recommended to put it in airplane mode. That way, connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS are turned off.
Save money abroad
Traveling can be very expensive if you use your phone too much or keep its more expensive features active.
To avoid international roaming, you must switch to airplane mode and only use Wi-Fi connection points.
Play without interruptions
Nothing is more annoying for a player than dozens of advertisements appearing in the middle of the game. Airplane mode is the solution, since not being connected to the Internet, these messages are not received.
Avoid risks
Sometimes other people can take the cell phone and play with it.
The situation can become risky, especially if it involves children: they touch the screen and make potentially problematic involuntary calls (an ex, the boss, the mother-in-law, etc.). In airplane mode, that won't happen. In addition, this way they will not receive interrupting alerts.
Avoid interruptions
We don't need to explain to you how many ways you can be distracted by your cell phone.
With airplane mode you can prevent this from happening and do it quickly, because it activates in a second and deactivates all the applications at once.
It is also very useful at night, because it allows you to prevent that friend who lives in a different time zone from waking you up with a WhatsApp and make the alarm work anyway.
