#should i use airplane mode

When you activate airplane mode, it basically blocks all signal transmission from your device, particularly cellular connections. --There have certainly been times where we've forgotten to turn airplane mode on while on a flight, and nothing bad happened, at least.

Even if these transmissions from your gadgets were to cause problems, the plane wouldn’t just fall out of the sky because a few people “forgot” to enable airplane mode. So to answer the question, do you really need to turn on airplane mode? It’s highly unlikely to affect a plane’s equipment and at 35,000 feet, cell signal is pretty much nonexistent anyway, so it’s better to turn off your phone or turn on your airplane mode to save your phone’s battery life.
