Tired of manually switching Airplane Mode every time you connect or disconnect from Wi-Fi? Airplane Mode Autopilot intelligently manages your device's Airplane Mode based on your Wi-Fi connection, ensuring seamless transitions and optimizing your device's behavior automatically, even in the background!

🛜📞💬🔋 Boost Wi-Fi Calling, Texting & Save Battery!
This app is a game-changer if your carrier and device are configured for Wi-Fi calling & texting. Airplane Mode Autopilot can force your device to prioritize a strong Wi-Fi connection by engaging Airplane Mode. In areas with poor cellular signal, this means more reliable, crystal-clear calls and texts when you're connected to a configured Wi-Fi network. It can also conserve battery life by preventing your phone from constantly draining power searching for a weak cellular signal.

Key Features:

🛫🛜🛬 Smart Automation: Automatically toggles Airplane Mode ON when you connect to a configured Wi-Fi network and toggles Airplane Mode OFF when you disconnect.

💡True Background Operation: Once network rules are set, the app runs seamlessly in the background, automatically managing Airplane Mode without requiring manual intervention.

⚙️ Customizable Network Rules: Set unique automation preferences for individual Wi-Fi networks (SSIDs) you frequently use.

Flexible Configuration Modes:
⚪️ Whitelist Mode: Airplane Mode is only automated for networks you've explicitly set to "Always." Perfect for a controlled environment.
⚫ Blacklist Mode: Airplane Mode is automated for all networks by default, unless you've explicitly set them to "Never." (Use with caution for widespread automation).

🆕🛜 Seamless New Network Setup: Get convenient notifications to quickly configure automation preferences the first time you connect to a new Wi-Fi network.

‼️ Important Setup & Permissions Information:

Airplane Mode Autopilot is powerful, but requires a one-time technical setup due to Android's system security:

No Root Required! Your device does not need to be rooted for this app to function.

🔒 Essential ADB Permission (WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS):
To automatically toggle Airplane Mode, this app requires a special system permission called WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. This permission cannot be granted directly by the user from within the app. It must be enabled once via an ADB (Android Debug Bridge) command from a computer connected to your device.

ADB Command:
adb shell pm grant dev.bugborne.autopilot android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
(Please ensure "USB Debugging" is enabled on your device. Detailed setup instructions will be provided within the app).

📍🔔 Background Location & Notifications:
The app also requires precise background Location access to accurately monitor Wi-Fi connection changes and network specifics. Notification permission is used to display ongoing service status and new network prompts. Your location data is used strictly for Wi-Fi detection and is not collected, or shared by us. ## Rankings - #822,958 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `dev.bugborne.autopilot.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [WiFi Auto Connect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wificonnect.manager.auto) — 11,164 users, 4.44 / 5 - [WiFi Auto Connect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rbnvision.auto.wifi.connect) — 62,683 users, 4.16 / 5 - [AutoConnect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zapek.android.autoconnect_free) — 25,252 users, 1.00 / 5 - [Auto-Wifi](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.alivezoned.autowifi) — 2,360 users - [Airplane Mode Switcher Wifi](https://chrome-stats.com/d/jp.android.airpalnemodewifi) — 3,934 users - [WiFi Auto Connect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.galaxy.cube.wifi.auto.connect) — 4,934 users, 3.17 / 5 - [Wi-Fi Auto Connect : Wi-Fi Aut](https://chrome-stats.com/d/wifiautomatic.wificonnect.sahajanand) — 33,389 users, 4.25 / 5 - [WIFI Auto Connect-WIFI Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wificonnection.wifi.manager.app) — 252,121 users, 4.52 / 5 - [WiFi Auto Connect :WiFi Master](https://chrome-stats.com/d/wifi.auto.connect.wifi.setup.master) — 170,056 users, 4.53 / 5 - [Wi-Fi Auto Connect WiFi Master](https://chrome-stats.com/d/wifi.automatic.wifi.auto.connect.wifi.manager) — 4,120,588 users, 3.94 / 5 - [Airplane On/Off Widget](https://chrome-stats.com/d/it.potaland.android.settings) — 149,619 users, 2.61 / 5 - [Wi-Fi Settings](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.zep.wificontroller) — 554 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/dev.bugborne.autopilot)
