Why is it that I turn on flight mode at night so I am not disturbed, yet sometimes when I wake in the morning it is turned off?

No, your phone can’t be hacked. It’s possible that your phone restarted overnight, which might disable Airplane mode. Note also that if you turn off Wi-Fi from the control center it will turn on automatically at 7:30 AM the next day. The Wi-Fi button in the Control Center doesn’t really turn off Wi-Fi, it disconnects from the current network, but leaves Wi-Fi on.

I simply swipe up and hit the Flight mode icon…. Thank you for the Do Not Disturb tip….. I received a scammers email recently saying he had hacked my phone and copied all of my emails and taken control of my keyboard and camera… I didn’t think that was possible with an IPhone. So I am wondering if the flight mode being switched off was a sign?
