The airplane mode on mobile phones is basically useless, so why hasn’t it been eliminated or cancelled?

Mobile phones are a device we often use. After all, we are becoming more and more dependent on them. Today's mobile phones are becoming more and more advanced, which is a symbol of the progress of the times. The replacement of electronic products is very fast. In this mode, our mobile phones have also undergone earth-shaking changes. Do you still remember the earliest big brother mobile phones? Today's smart phones have crossed a gap.

Major mobile phone manufacturers are constantly striving for perfection in mobile phones. For example, they will make improvements in hardware or software. Even the appearance of mobile phones is constantly improving. For example, the previous "notch screen" has evolved into a full screen, drop screen, folding screen, etc.

It can be said that mobile phones have always been striving for excellence, becoming more and more perfect and intelligent, but there is one function that is an exception, that is "flight mode". Most people think that this function is useless. After all, its main function is to help the phone be in a state of no signal and turned off. But if we really want to turn off the phone, a power button is enough. Very few people use it in daily life, and it feels particularly redundant. So why don't designers eliminate it?

Flight mode, also known as aviation mode, can turn off the device that sends and receives signals on the phone to prevent the phone signal from interfering with the flight of the aircraft. In fact, many people have not discovered the real practicality of flight mode, and to put it more clearly, they don't know how to use it. So what exactly does flight mode do?

「Flight Mode」Practical Skills

1. Reset the network

The phone suddenly has no network, the network suddenly becomes worse, or you pass through a zone with no signal, and the phone still has no signal after a long time! At this time, when the phone encounters a network failure or disconnection, you can turn on the airplane mode. The airplane mode can reset the data network in the phone. After turning it on and then turning it off after a while, this process is equivalent to restarting the phone, and it takes less time than restarting.

2. Power saving

When you are out and about, you suddenly find that your phone only has 10% of battery left, and you don’t have a charger with you. What should you do? Turn on the airplane mode! A large part of the phone’s battery is consumed by the signal, so turning on the airplane mode can save more than half of the battery.

3. Speed ​​up charging

Now almost all smartphones are equipped with fast charging technology. However, if you are in a hurry to go out and find that your phone is low on power, you can see that the charging speed of the phone is significantly faster if you turn on the airplane mode of the phone. In fact, this is also because when the phone is turned on in airplane mode, there is no need to receive or send signals all the time, and some software cannot work properly, so the charging speed of the phone is naturally very fast.

3. Anti-harassment

If you don't want to be disturbed by calls, most people will usually choose to turn off their phones. However, once the phone is turned off, we can't use the phone to watch TV series or play games. At this time, just turn on the airplane mode. The similarities between turning off the phone and airplane mode are that any network data, text messages, and phone functions will be turned off, but the difference between the two is that in airplane mode, you can manually turn on the wireless network, play games, listen to music, watch videos, etc. normally, and there will be no other harassment. If you don't want to be harassed by calls or text messages from others, you can turn on the airplane mode and manually turn on the WiFi function. That's it, which is much more convenient than turning off the phone.

4. Does not affect the mobile phone alarm

As soon as the phone is turned off, the alarm clock will "go on strike", and the airplane mode is here to save them. If you don't want to turn off the phone, but don't want to be woken up by various calls in the middle of the night, turn on the airplane mode. After turning on the airplane mode, the phone alarm clock can be used as usual.

5. Prevent children from playing with mobile phones

If you don’t want your children to play games on their phones too much, you can turn on airplane mode. The phone will have no mobile data, and will not be able to send text messages or make calls. You don’t have to worry about wasting money or data by randomly clicking on it, nor do you have to worry about him making calls or sending text messages and causing embarrassment to others.

Of course, the usefulness of airplane mode is more than that. For example, it can also reduce mobile phone radiation, reduce roaming charges and so on. So, airplane mode may seem very useless, but it’s actually just because you don’t know how to use it.

In this regard, do you still think that the flight mode is useless? How long has it been since you used the flight mode?
