MacroDroid Forums-Enable wifi when in airplane mode?
Sorry I'm afraid you are wrong, the two things are totally unrelated. There is a very specific intent to enable airplane mode via voice control, there

You should be able to get around it by using the UI Interaction action.
If you have adb or root permissions, you can modify a system setting so that airplane mode does not affect Wi-Fi (current Wi-Fi status)
I can't root my phone, I use it for work.

ADB.
In the global configuration

Remove "wifi" from both settings (the next time you activate aeroplane mode, it will not turn off wifi).
The same method should work, did you try it?

I'm on Android 11, but I expect Google haven't removed the restrictions relating to apps not being able to directly control WiFi in airplane mode.
I assume this is your issue - WiFi ON action in MD does nothing.
Unfortunately , the only way I know around this issue is to UI integration to click on the WiFi icon in the status bar. This only works with the screen ON.
On my Oppo there is a system setting which enables the status bar on the lock screen. So if the screen is off and WiFi needs to be turned on, I enable this setting, turn on the screen and use UI actions to click on the WiFi icon, then turn off the screen and disable the setting. It works a treat and the screen is on for less than a second. Avoids having to unlock the screen.

Sorry what method? I am new to this.
How do we do this? Where are these settings located? I'm sorry I'm a newbie.
Using the action system configuration > global (airplane_mode_radios and airplane_mode_toggleable_radios)
But this takes root or adb, you can see more about adb guide here or tutorial from @Jacob L here
Thanks! I just used ADB to run this command: settings put global airplane_mode_radios cell,bluetooth,nfc,wimax. Now when I flip to airplane mode, I cannot text or make phone calls. I can do other things that require data. Any thoughts?
Delete "cell"
