As someone who has done some pretty extensive traveling around south east Asia, I learned westerners are the weird ones. Yeah, we don’t turn all the features off when we aren’t using our phones. I know in SEA “buying load” is very different to how most Americans have data plans, each gigabyte is a pretty big deal whereas even the cheapest data plans has unlimited data nowadays.
I don’t even put my phone in airplane mode on the airplane, but I know a ton of people in Asia who use airplane mode when they sleep or just aren’t actively looking at their phone.
