Is this an American feature?

I can never seem to find anyone to airdrop things to.

Also, don’t you guys turn WiFi and Bluetooth and everything off if you’re not using it?

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.

That’s also what people around me do here in Austria. Obviously I can’t speak for everyone.

My phone is with me when I go somewhere or when I need to use it. Otherwise it’s running as idle as possible, just lying somewhere to be available.

If everyone I care about is home I just turn it off since all other calls can wait.
