Sure, the Nintendo Switch is most enjoyable when you’re online and playing with other people. That said, there are many games that don’t require an internet connection to work, which is why you should consider disabling the wireless connectivity features while playing them. As with tablets, smartphones, and laptops, the Switch has an Airplane Mode feature that, when enabled, turns off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (via Nintendo). Neither feature will leech from the battery while turned off, helping you squeeze a bit more time out between charging sessions.
To enable Airplane Mode, you need to:
- Press the home button on the Switch.
- Physically connect the Joy-Cons to the console (non-Lite version).
- Tap or click the System Settings button on the home screen.
- Select Airplane Mode.
- Tap or click the “Airplane Mode” button found within the Airplane Mode menu to enable it.
Keep in mind that turning on Airplane Mode will cut you off from Wi-Fi, meaning you won’t be able to play any games that require it like “Fall Guys.” You will, however, be able to play strictly offline games like “2048” and titles that offer some offline functionality like “Cuphead.” If you turn on Airplane Mode when the Joy-Cons aren’t connected to the tablet portion of the Switch, they won’t be useable due to the loss of Bluetooth connectivity. Nintendo says that you can pair them manually, however, by selecting the Controller Connection (Bluetooth) option in the Airplane Mode menu.
