How to Remove Airplane Mode From an iPhone
If you find that your iPhone's Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and cellular services no longer work, the most common cause is that airplane mode has been turned on. While airplane mode turns off all features that may disrupt a plane during flight, having the device's features disabled outside of this circumstance can disrupt your day-to-day work activities. To verify that your iPhone is in airplane mode, look for the icon of an airplane in the upper left corner of the device. You can disable this mode at any time from your iPhone Settings app.
-
1.
Touch the "Settings" icon on your iPhone's home screen.
-
2.
Tap the "On/Off" button next to Airplane Mode at the top of the Settings window so that the button reads "Off."
-
3.
Verify that airplane mode is off by looking at the upper left corner of your iPhone screen; when you disable airplane mode, the airplane icon disappears.
