Hi,
sometimes I turn on airplane mode.
after turning off the airplane mode from the control center it still shows the airplane icon on the homescreen. In the ControlCenter screen or when I open an app it shows the symbols for WiFi, cellular and provider name as expected.
after restarting phone it’s gone from homescreen and works good.
this is happening since one of the last iOS versions (v13...)
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14
Hello, Elvis4PB!
Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities! If we understand correctly, you're still seeing the airplane icon on screen after disabling it from the Control Center. We'd like to help!
If you disable Airplane Mode from Settings instead of the Control Center, does this persist?
If so, we recommend installing the latest iOS version then test to see if you continue to notice this behavior:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care!
Thanks for the reply, Elvis4PB.
When exactly do you turn on Airplane Mode? Are you enabling it before setting up and using sleep schedules on your iPhone? Do you notice the same issue if you leave Airplane Mode disabled, or is it being used to prevent notifications/calls/texts?
If you force restart your iPhone, does the same behavior persist:

Feel free to post a reply with more details.
All the best.
We appreciate those details, Elvis4PB.
It sounds like the application you're using might be triggering this. Are you using the sleep schedules in the Health app? If not, and you're using a third-party app, check for app updates next:
Update apps or use automatic downloads - Apple Support
If all apps are up-to-date, force quit the app, then uninstall it. Test to see if the airplane icon remains on screen with it uninstalled prior to reinstalling the app:

If this doesn't happen with the app uninstalled, reach out to the app developer:
How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
If this continues when the app is uninstalled, Contact Apple Support.
Okay, here again the steps. Maybe it wasn’t clear enough:
it happens unfortunately not all the time
=> crashing the control center. It will close it with short phone vibration
=> turns it off in the header when an app is active. But in homescreen it still shows the airplane ✈️ mode icon
An additional hint I could have is that it could happen in combination with the App Sleep Cycle. When there is an active sleep timer the control menu button for the airplane mode is not behaving normal. When tapping it crashes the control menu. So it closes it without doing anything.
hope that helps a bit more
What a unqualified reply from a so called Community Specialist?
i wrote already, that the OS is up-to-date.
ofcource I have made sure, that I use already the latest version of the app Sleep Cycle.
i turned also my television on and off, just in case that this could be one of your next suggestions.
most likely it is the combination of the app Sleep Cycle wit the Control Center.
but fact is: airplane mode and control center is part of the OS. So the App sleep cycle is not fully responsible for the error behavior.
I was under the impression I let the apple devs know the problem here in the forum that they can take care. But obviously I’m wrong here.
Hello,
the newest iOS did not solve the issue.
It happened again today. turning on/off flight mode from the Settings menu does not solve the issue! So only restart helps
Just for the record, I have seen other reports of this anomaly.
