This trigger fires when the device's Airplane mode setting is changed. You can configure it to trigger    when Airplane mode is enabled, or when it is disabled.

Options

When configuring this trigger, select one of the following:

Airplane Mode Enabled - Fires when Airplane mode is turned ON
Airplane Mode Disabled - Fires when Airplane mode is turned OFF

How It Works

The trigger listens for the system broadcast that Android sends whenever the Airplane mode state changes. This means the trigger fires immediately when the setting is toggled, regardless of how it was changed (Quick Settings tile, Settings app, or another automation).

Example 1: Mute media when going to sleep

When Airplane mode is enabled at night, automatically mute media volume.

Triggers

Airplane Mode Enabled

Actions

Volume Change - Media Volume = 0

Constraints

Time of Day (10:00 PM - 7:00 AM)

Example 2: Restore connectivity settings after flight

When Airplane mode is disabled, automatically enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Triggers

Airplane Mode Disabled

Actions

Set Wi-Fi State (Enable Wi-Fi)
Set Bluetooth State (Enable Bluetooth)

Example 3: Log flight times

Track when you enable Airplane mode (boarding a flight) by logging to a file.

Triggers

Airplane Mode Enabled

Actions

Write To File - Append "{hour}:{minute}:{second} - Flight mode started" to flight_log.txt

Notes

This trigger detects changes to Airplane mode. It does not fire based on the current state when a macro is enabled. To check the current Airplane mode state, use the Airplane Mode Constraint.
On some devices, enabling Airplane mode automatically disables Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile data. However, some devices allow Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to be re-enabled while Airplane mode remains active.
No special permissions are required for this trigger.
