If you've flown on an airplane in the last decade and you have a smart phone, you've likely had to put that phone in airplane mode before the plane takes off.
What is airplane mode?
When you enable airplane mode you disable your phone's ability to connect to cellular or WiFi networks or to Bluetooth. This means you can't make or receive calls, send texts, or browse the internet.
You can still use your phone, however: you can take photos, listen to music, play games, or compose emails/messages to send later. Basically anything that doesn't require a signal or internet.
How do you switch it on?
To turn airplane mode on if you have an iPhone or iPad simply swipe up from the bottom of the screen. You'll see a little airplane icon in the menu that pops up - just click it and it'll turn orange. This means airplane mode is engaged.
You'll also notice that your wifi has been turned off and that your phone is no longer transmitting a radio signal.
If you have an Android phone, the process is similar - just swipe down from the top and switch on airplane mode.
