So, the phone will try to enter airplane mode, but the hardware problem keeps it from working. It is possible for this to be a hardware problem (although quite unlikely).Ī few specific problems can prevent software functions from performing correctly. In the vast majority of cases, this is a software error, and you can likely fix it by rebuilding the operating system. This is a major malfunction, and it means the phone needs repair. The other possibility is that the phone is displaying airplane mode, but it’s still allowing cellular communication. You just thought airplane mode activated, but it didn’t. The phone is operating the way it should. The first is that even though you tapped the option, it didn’t go through, and airplane mode never turned on. The other likely scenario is that airplane mode isn’t currently active. If it doesn’t, then this is not the explanation for why you are still receiving messages. The trick, of course, is that your phone has to have internet access via Wi-Fi. If you use WhatsApp, Messenger, or countless other apps for communication, any of them can reach you on Wi-Fi even when airplane mode is active. When airplane mode is on, SMS messages (the green ones) cannot go through.īut, blue messages will still come through just fine.Īs long as your phone has internet access, any data message can reach you. Text bubbles with a green background are SMS messages. You can tell this is happening because the text bubbles will have a blue background. Whether you have airplane mode on or not, the messages are sent as data packets rather than as SMS messages. On iPhones, iMessage defaults to internet-based communication. Since Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both active, there are plenty of ways for a text to get to your phone. The most likely reason you are getting text messages while on airplane mode is that they are coming through an alternative form of communication. Other times, it’s based on how the message is sent.
Sometimes, it has to do with airplane mode functionality. That should block all text messages, right?ĭespite that, plenty of people get texts while the phone is in airplane mode. Regardless of why you have airplane mode active, it stops communication with the carrier network. 3.5 #5 Troubleshooting Why Are You Receiving Texts on Airplane Mode? (2 Things)
