A pilot is going viral after answering a question that’s on every passenger’s mind — why do we need to toggle our smartphones to airplane mode before takeoff? He broke down why this precaution is so important in a video PSA with over 2 million views on TikTok.
“The airplane mode button on your phone is not a conspiracy,” declared the pilot, who goes by @perchpoint on the platform, in the footage.
