Use this tag concerning questions Airplane mode in Apple mobile devices

Airplane mode is a setting available on many mobile phones, smartphones and other mobile electronic devices that, when activated, suspends many of the device's signal transmitting functions, thereby disabling the device's capacity to place or receive calls or use text messaging – while still permitting use of other functions that do not require signal transmission (e.g., games, built-in camera, MP3 player).

To learn about Airplace mode on Apple devices, refer to the Support document, Use Airplane Mode on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch.
