Imagine your smartphone is like a detective. When you walk into an airport, the detective notices special clues from nearby machines, like invisible signs that tell it where you are. These clues help the phone know you're at the airport and automatically switch to airplane mode so you don’t get distracted by too many messages or calls.
Examples
- Your smartphone notices special invisible signs from nearby machines at the airport.
