Airplane mode on an iPad disables wireless communication features, allowing you to use the device for certain functions without transmitting or receiving signals.
When you enable Airplane Mode on your iPad, it automatically turns off the following:
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
Functionality in Airplane Mode
While Airplane Mode disables wireless communication, you can still use many of your iPad's features:
- Enjoying Media: You can listen to music, watch downloaded videos, and play games that are stored on your device and don't require an internet connection.
- Using Apps: Access and use any apps that do not need an internet connection to function.
Re-enabling Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in Airplane Mode
Notably, even with Airplane Mode enabled, you have the option to manually re-enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in the Settings app. This allows you to connect to specific Wi-Fi networks or use Bluetooth accessories while still maintaining the core benefits of Airplane Mode (i.e., disabling cellular connections).
