If you do not see this option

• No Aeroplane mode tile? Tap the pencil in Quick Settings and add it; on ours it was in the Connection group of the tile list.
• On OxygenOS 14? The OnePlus manual puts the switch under Settings, Connection & sharing. On our OxygenOS 16 phone it is on the main Settings page, near the top. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual

If this does not work

• No signal after turning it off? Wait a few seconds for the networks to reconnect; ours was back on Wi-Fi at once. Source: Control aeroplane mode, private DNS and other network settings
• Bluetooth headphones stopped? The OnePlus manual says features that use the mobile network, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are unavailable in aeroplane mode. Google says you can turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth back on while it stays on. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual · Source: Control aeroplane mode, private DNS and other network settings

About this guide

Aeroplane mode switches off the phone's radios in one tap.

The screenshots are from our OnePlus Nord 5 with OxygenOS 16.0.5.1201 and Android 16, in Dark mode. We turned it on, then off again; Wi-Fi reconnected by itself.
