Do I Need a Faraday Solution if I Already Use Airplane Mode?

Let’s be blunt, Airplane Mode is a software request. A Faraday solution is a physical command. When you switch on Airplane Mode, you’re trusting your device to obey. But your phone’s hardware antennas, chips, GPS, and NFC still exist. Still capable. Still listening.

<h2 dir="ltr">The Hidden Risk Behind “Airplane Mode”</h2>
You might think Airplane Mode cuts all connections. In reality, it justasks your device to stop transmitting. Apps can still store data. Bluetooth and GPS can reactivate. Some phones even keep background communication alive for location services or emergency updates.
That means your personal data; location, metadata, movement can still be tracked, harvested, or pinged without your consent. If your phone’s in your pocket, it’s not reallyoff the grid, it's justquieter.
<h2 dir="ltr">Why Faraday Is Different</h2>
A<a href="https://slnt.com/collections/utility-faraday-bags?sort_by=best-selling"> Faraday bag</a> doesn’t ask your phone to stop talking; it makes it impossible. By blocking all signals (cellular, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC), it creates a physical barrier. No signals in, no signals out. No exceptions.
This is ahardware-level defense. Where software can be bypassed, a Faraday enclosure makes digital silence absolute.
