What is the difference between airplane mode and do not disturb?

Some people may confuse that airplane mode is the same as Do Not Disturb mode, but there is a very big difference between them.

Airplane mode in Android

Airplane mode is a feature found in all Android phones and iPhones as well. It is primarily designed for flights in airplanes and is called airplane mode, but it has many advantages in our daily lives. When you activate airplane mode, you dispense with the data connection in your phone or the phone's connection to the Internet via the SIM card in the phone because at this time the SIM card will lose its connection to the network tower and when trying to make or receive a call, you will not be able to do so. But you can manually open Wi-Fi and Bluetooth after activating the mode.

This feature is a customized and updated version of the silent mode on the device. It is considered a silent mode with additional features. In addition to muting the sound of notifications, it prevents the screen from opening when receiving a notification, and the visual notification will not appear in the notification bar. When you activate it, you will lose the vibration feature if it was activated on the phone before. When you receive any notification in Do Not Disturb mode, you will only hear the notification sound and see the number of notifications that the phone received on the application from the outside only, but they will not appear in the notification bar. The Do Not Disturb feature maintains the data connection and cellular network on your phone, unlike airplane mode. In the Do Not Disturb feature, you can choose the applications from which you want to receive notifications and choose applications whose notifications you prevent from reaching you.
