Airplane Mode

I have an iPad Pro 11 and have installed the latest iOS update, 13.4.1. I discovered that in airplane mode my Wi-Fi is not turning off as it does in my iPhone

Is that a change or a bug?

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

Thanks. I discovered this morning that that is what had happened. I had manually turned WiFi off last night after switching to Airplane mode and saw it turn on when I switched off Airplane Mode this morning. They now appear to be properly sync’d with each other again.

Hello,

Try resetting iPad's settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Be certain you do not select Erase All Content and Settings as this will erase all of your information. It is a good idea to perform a backup of your iPad prior to resetting its settings.

Don”t forget that if you re-enable WiFi manually from the Control Panel when Airplane mode is active, WiFi will be enabled. Your iPad will, by design, remember this configuration. The same functionality applies to Bluetooth.

If you subsequently enable Airplane mode, to disable your Cellular functions, your WiFi/Bluetooth will remain enabled as preset.

This behaviour can be reversed, whilst in Airplane mode, by disabling WiFi/Bluetooth from the Control Panel.

I hope this is helpful in clarifying expected operation of WiFi and Bluetooth when Airplane mode is active.
