Google is developing a new flight mode for Android devices

Google is developing a new flight mode for Android devices, where it will be able to detect the user's presence on the plane and activate the mode automatically, while modifying the settings for connecting to Wi-Fi networks to be compatible with the aircraft and taking into account battery consumption.

Facts

🛩️ The development of a new "flight mode" allows Android phones to recognize the user's presence on the plane and activate the mode automatically.

📶 The new technology will support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections on the aircraft instead of disabling them altogether.

🔋 Google will take into account battery consumption and connection quality when adjusting Wi-Fi settings.

⚙️ Some processes stop in the background of the device and disable updates and automatic backups when Airplane mode is enabled.

✈️ The phone is restored to normal when the plane lands safely, disabled connections are activated and applications resume.

📝 Google has registered a patent for the new technology and is still working on developing it without knowing the exact date for its availability in the Android system.
