If your Galaxy A56 keeps switching to Airplane mode on its own, you may suddenly lose calls, texts, and mobile data. This problem is more common than you think, and it often comes down to software glitches, misconfigured settings, or even third-party apps interfering with your phone. Luckily, there are several ways to fix it.
Why Your Galaxy A56 Might Turn On Airplane Mode Automatically
- A software bug in One UI or Android.
- Stuck system process or minor glitch in the phone’s memory.
- Third-party apps or automation tools toggling Airplane mode.
- Outdated software or corrupted system files.
- Accidental touches on the Quick Settings panel.
Restart Your Phone.
Temporary glitches in the system can trigger Airplane mode without warning. Restarting clears out stuck processes and refreshes the connection to your network.
Hold the Side key and Volume Down until the power menu appears. Tap Restart, and then confirm by tapping Restart again.
Check Quick Settings Panel.
Airplane mode might be switching on by accidental touches, especially if you swipe down quickly from the top of the screen.
Swipe down from the top right of the screen to open Quick Settings. Look for the Airplane mode icon and make sure it is not highlighted.
Update the Software.
Bugs in outdated software can sometimes cause random toggling of Airplane mode. Keeping your device updated ensures better stability and bug fixes.
Open Settings, and then tap Software update. Tap Download and install, and if an update is available, follow the prompts to install it.
Boot in Safe Mode.
Some third-party apps can interfere with system functions. Booting in Safe Mode lets you check if the problem continues without those apps running.
- Hold the Side key and Volume Down, and then tap and hold Power off.
- When Safe Mode appears at the bottom of the screen, tap Safe Mode to restart the phone in that mode.
If the issue stops, uninstall recently installed apps that might be causing conflicts.
Reset Network Settings.
Corrupted network configurations may cause Airplane mode to trigger randomly. Resetting them restores everything to default without deleting your personal files.
Open Settings, and then tap General management. Tap Reset, and then tap Reset mobile network settings. Confirm and wait for the phone to restart.
Airplane mode switching on by itself can be disruptive, but these fixes usually solve the problem. Most of the time, it is a simple glitch, a misbehaving app, or a bug that Samsung has already patched in newer updates.
FAQs
Can a faulty SIM card cause Airplane mode to turn on by itself?
No. A faulty SIM card can cause signal issues but does not toggle Airplane mode. The problem is usually related to software or settings.
Will Safe Mode delete my data?
No. Safe Mode only disables third-party apps temporarily. Once you restart normally, your apps and data will be available again.
Should I factory reset if the problem continues?
Only as a last resort. Try all other troubleshooting steps first. If nothing works, a factory reset may help by clearing out deep software issues.
