I mean, it's not a feature which would get my "voting" attention. While I do hope for it to stay, I don't recall any situation when I wanted for my phone to stop doing its primary (well, at least for me still it is primary) function of receiving phone call and SMS.

It's a helpful low-power mode, especially when traveling in areas where you no there's no signal.

  Oh right, I forgot as I don't travel too much and almost whole Poland is reasonably well covered.

I use it at night when I want to sleep without interuptions. I guess you can always just turn the phone off entirely. Assuming that doesn't become impossible also.

  If we're talking Apple devices, Focus mode is explicitly defined for that case, and allows fine-grained settings for specific sources to allow through, so you can still get, e.g. high-priority midnight calls from the family/lawyer/local comic book shop.

    i don't understand why you're being downvoted, that's exactly what it is for. android users can use do not disturb as well.

  People call you at night?!

    i have friends on different timezones, and they talk in groups that are important to me, so i don't want to silence these groups. it's far easier to silence the whole phone for the night. airplane mode is an easy way to achieve that.

      Perhaps, despite my age, I'm just an out-of-the-loop dinosaur, but I have no clue how does that work. Do phones nowadays have an option to dial multiple numbers to have a group phone call?

        text messaging in chat groups. they still beep when a message appears in a group or at least when someone replies to a message i sent or mentions me. i have most groups on silent by default but some groups are important so for those i keep notifications on. apart from that there are also voice group chats which on some apps start with a ring at least if i am explicitly invited. (though that usually doesn't happen when i am asleep)

        Wouldn't simply muting the device be just as effective? (with the added bonus of being aware in the morning if somebody did actually try to reach out to you during the night)

        You can even set the phone to automatically silence everything every night, but still let through phone calls from certain contacts in case of emergency.
