Why does my air plane mode on my iPad not turn off my Wi-Fi

When I turn airplane mode on, on my iPad, my Wi-Fi is still on and I am able to use the internet and send messages. It should turn off Wi-Fi and cellular like it does with my phone.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hi Alroepke,


Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.


If you've used Airplane Mode in the past and turned on Wi-Fi, this will be on the next time you use Airplane Mode, unless you turn off Wi-Fi while in Airplane mode.
