Great, thanks. So I guess pressing the clearly designed cellular icon does not turn off cellular and the real action is hidden in a popup. Very intuitive! /s G

Very intuitive! /s Glad I wasn't doing it for a more serious reason (in which case I would have just left the phone at home, but still..).
edit:
comment chain got too deep to reply to. But I think the fact that I failed to see a difference is clear evidence that the airplane mode icon is NOT an adequate indicator.
Airplane mode means turn off all wireless, everyone knows that much. But that isn't what I wanted, I still wanted bluetooth with nothing else and as such turned off the unwanted radios individually.
Airplane mode intuitively to me means just a quicker/easier way to toggle them in one swoop, not a completely different action that you can't accomplish with the individual buttons.
- wtallis 6y agoFor most people, turning off all cellular functionality is a relatively uncommon action, and very strongly associated with the airplane mode icon. The presence of that airplane mode button serves as an adequate indicator that the cellular icon has a different function.
