Samsung Galaxy: switch on flight mode - how it works

When you turn on airplane mode on the Samsung Galaxy, all connections are cut. WLAN, Bluetooth and phone calls - all of this is no longer possible. We show you here how to activate flight mode.

Activate flight mode on Samsung Galaxy smartphones S4, S5, S6, S7 and S8

1. The first way to activate the flight mode is via the notification bar: If you pull it down, a small tile button will appear next to symbols for WLAN, GPS and Bluetooth in the top right corner.
2. If you select this button, an extended menu appears.
3. Now you will see many other functions - including the "offline mode".
4. If you tap the corresponding icon, you will be asked whether you really want to switch on flight mode.
5. With "Activate" your Samsung smartphone is then switched to offline mode.
