Hey Siri, turn on airplane mode.

That automates turning on airplane mode very well for me. I hope this meets your needs based on the requirements listed.


The shortcots app is very powerful in this case. The automation can be activated/deactivated. Automation triggers are broken up into three categories: Events, Travel, and Settings. Each trigger is also either what I call "active" or "passive" in nature. An active trigger is one that is the result of a user's deliberate action, like plugging your iPhone into your CarPlay-enabled vehicle or tapping an NFC tag. At some point, you deliberately did something to or with your iPhone to start your automation.

A passive trigger, like the time of day or arriving at or leaving a location, is one where you're not actively doing something to or with your phone. While you might leave a location with your iPhone in your pocket, for instance, your phone is passive at that moment. Ironically, these automations with this type of trigger ultimately require your active consent to run. When their trigger is activated, you'll get a notification. Tapping that notification will show you a "Run" button. Tap that, and your automation will run.

In my example, I have activate the Automation:

Then you can as example automate to turn off the air plan mode by ringing the alarm clock. So if your alarm is ringing and you stop the alarm, the air plan mode will turn off. In order for this to work without confirmation after the alarm clock stopping, the "Ask Before Running" setting must be deactivated for this shortcut. If this is not deactivated, after your alarm clock is stopping, you will asked, if you will turn off the air plan mode. But this is not desirable.

So every time when a alarm rings and you stop them, the air plan mode will turn off and the iPhone will connect to the internet.
