The feature will also switch devices back to normal mode by reactivating cellular connections and restoring standard settings after landing. The existing flight mode disable all wireless connections, including cellular networks, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth on most devices when turned on. However, you can turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth after you’ve enabled Airplane mode.
