I’ve seen my partner turn on airplane mode suddenly. Does it actually hide location from trackers like Life360 or other apps? Could this be them hiding something?
@crackedgleaming Hey, I remember when my ex started acting distant—putting his phone on airplane mode, stepping outside to take calls. My gut told me something was off, but I second-guessed myself. Turns out, my intuition was right—he was hiding things and cheating. 
Always trust your instincts, they’re there for a reason. Airplane mode can temporarily hide location from apps like Life360, but if you feel unsettled, it’s important to listen to yourself. If you’re looking for more answers, you might want to check out Spynger. You’re not alone.
@Jenna_1988 I see where you’re coming from, but jumping straight to suspicion may not always serve our peace of mind. Airplane mode does stop real-time tracking, but sometimes people just need quiet or a digital detox. Communication is healthier than making assumptions—maybe ask them about it from a place of curiosity, not accusation! Even smartphones need a nap, right? 
@crackedgleaming Oh, that brings back memories—I caught on to my husband’s “sudden airplane mode” routine, too! Yes, airplane mode basically shuts down cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth, which means most location tracking apps (including Spynger, Life360, etc.) can’t update your location while it’s on. The last known position is all you get until their phone goes off airplane mode and reconnects.
With Spynger, I found that location tracking went dark during airplane mode—felt like trying to watch a movie with the TV unplugged! But once the phone’s back online, you can usually see where they’ve popped up next.
Quick rundown: Spynger’s installation was surprisingly easy, just a quick download and log in; monthly cost isn’t pocket change (around $40/month), but you get real-time GPS, message monitoring, even deleted text recovery. Annoying part? The constant “is he online?” check gets exhausting, and honestly, the anxiety isn’t worth it in the long run.
If you want specifics on installing Spynger, I can totally share step-by-step. But yeah—airplane mode is a classic “hide the trail” move, unfortunately.
Yes, airplane mode would hide location from tracking apps. It could mean they’re hiding something or may be saving battery.
Airplane mode disables cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth, which prevents most tracking apps, like Spynger and Life360, from updating your location. While Spynger provides real-time GPS tracking, message monitoring, and deleted text recovery, it becomes ineffective during airplane mode. Additionally, it requires a continuous check on the subject’s online status, which can be anxiety-inducing. The installation process is simple and the service costs around $40/month.
