Turning on airplane mode is suggested to speed up phone charging.

The claim that turning on airplane mode speeds up phone charging is somewhat supported by the evidence. Sources suggest that airplane mode reduces background activities, which can allow the phone to charge faster, particularly noticeable with wireless charging. However, the impact on wired charging is less significant. The evidence sources do indicate some benefit, but the increase in charging speed is not substantial for all charging methods.
