Does activating flight mode help in reducing mobile radiation?

rumborak said:They have, to my knowledge, never been shown to be harmful. But yes, if you are concerned about them, flight mode gets rid of most of the "radiation".
I know that for suredavenn said:and adding to that which Rumborak said ...
but, you understand, your phone isn't going to be useable (as a phone) ? ... if you were considering using this mode for times other than when flyingDave
it doesn't help reduce it ... it stops it completelyEltahawy said:Does activating flight mode help in reducing mobile radiation?
who is we and when ??rumborak said:We just established that it still radiates, even in flight mode. Just at significantly lower level.
Airplane mode is a setting available on many mobile phones and other electronic devices that, when activated, suspends many of the device's signal transmitting functions, thereby disabling the device's capacity to place or receive calls or use text messaging – ... When the "airplane mode" is activated, it will disable all cellular services (GSM, UMTS, LTE) as well as other signal-transmitting technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
yeah but that's not the issue and not what flight mode is forrumborak said:It's an electronic device. Unless you surround entirely with a metal box, it emits signals.

What has research shown about the possible cancer-causing effects of radiofrequency energy?
Although there have been some concerns that radiofrequency energy from cell phones held closely to the head may affect the brain and other tissues, to date there is no evidence from studies of cells, animals, or humans that radiofrequency energy can cause cancer.
It is generally accepted that damage to DNA is necessary for cancer to develop. However, radiofrequency energy, unlike ionizing radiation, does not cause DNA damage in cells, and it has not been found to cause cancer in animals or to enhance the cancer-causing effects of known chemical carcinogens in animals (3–5).
Flight mode is a setting on mobile devices that disables cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connections. This means that the device is not transmitting or receiving any signals, thereby reducing the amount of radiation exposure.
No, using flight mode does not completely eliminate mobile radiation. It only reduces the amount of radiation exposure by disabling the device's connections. However, some radiation may still be emitted from the device itself.
Mobile radiation has been linked to potential health risks such as cancer, brain tumors, and infertility. However, more research is needed to fully understand the long-term effects of mobile radiation on human health.
No, using flight mode will not impact the functionality of your device. You will still be able to use all the features that do not require a cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth connection.
It is not necessary to use flight mode to reduce mobile radiation. There are other ways to minimize exposure, such as keeping the device away from your body and using a hands-free device. However, using flight mode is an additional precaution that can be taken to reduce radiation exposure.
