Keep your Android’s wireless connections on in Airplane mode

When you first turn on Airplane mode on your Android phone, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turn off. To keep your wireless connections on, you can change this setting so you can still connect to devices like your smartwatch or Bluetooth earbuds. You can also turn your wireless connections off again.

To get help with Wi-Fi, on your Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, activate Google Assistant and say, "I can't connect to Wi-Fi." Learn more about Pixel help through Google Assistant.

The next time you turn on Airplane mode, your phone will remember your previous setting.

Important: Some of these steps work only on Android 11 and up. Learn how to check your Android version.
