Charge Your Phone Faster with Airplane Mode

The Problem

Your phone takes 2+ hours to fully charge. You need it ready in 45 minutes.

The Hack

Toggle airplane mode before plugging in. Your phone charges noticeably faster.

Why It Works

Airplane mode disables cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS — all of which drain battery while charging. With no background radio use, all power goes to charging.

Pro Tips

• Charges 20-30% faster on average
• Especially useful when you need a quick top-up
• Also use a wall adapter, not a computer USB port
• Fast chargers + airplane mode = maximum speed
