Does Your Phone Charge Faster On Airplane Mode? | ZONSAN

2023-01-12 Your phone may charge slightly faster when it's in airplane mode because the phone is not using any power to run background processes or maintain a network connection. This can lead to a small increase in the rate at which the battery charges.



When your phone is not in airplane mode, it uses some power to maintain a cellular or Wi-Fi connection, to check for new notifications and to run background apps or services. These processes consume some of the power that would otherwise be used to charge the battery. So when you put the phone in airplane mode, it reduces the amount of power used to charge the battery.

However, the difference in charging time is likely to be small. Depending on the battery size and the charging method, you may not notice a significant change.

Additionally, if you have an older phone, the difference might be more significant as the processors of older phones are not as efficient as newer ones, but charging the phone in airplane mode is not the optimal solution and if you have the chance to charge your phone with a fast charger or wall adapter with high amperage then it would be more beneficial.
