Most people enable airplane mode as a quick way to turn off wireless features on their smartphones and other mobile devices. On MacOS, you can accomplish something similar by manually disabling Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or both. Here’s how:
- On your Mac computer, click the Apple menu. It’s the apple icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
- Go to System Settings.
- On the left side panel, select Wi-Fi. Next to Wi-Fi, switch the toggle to the off position to turn it off.
- To do the same for Bluetooth, pick Bluetooth from the side panel of the System Settings window and switch the Bluetooth toggle off.
Alternatively, you may also have quick access buttons that’ll allow you to turn off either or both features. Look in the top-right corner of your Mac computer’s main navigation bar and click on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth icons to disable them.
If you’re using your Macbook on an airplane when the flight attendants give you the go-ahead, turning off Bluetooth may not be necessary to “enable airplane mode” on your laptop. In fact, these days, most airlines offer Wi-Fi access while airborne, so you may not even need to turn that off either. However, disabling these features when they’re not needed may be a good way to minimize battery use, which could be essential for long flights. Furthermore, if you’re diagnosing a problem on MacOS and would like to try the airplane mode route to try and fix it, the steps above would be a good way to imitate the functionality.
