You only really need to do it for take of and landing.
But you still don't have data or GPS or anything and a lot of flights don't have wifi so pretty useless unless you have offline games or downloaded shows/movies/audiobooks.
You have GPS, it literally only receives so it can't affect flight instruments.
Idk I've never been able to get GPS on my phone to work on a plane always. I think consumer devices have it disabled over certain speeds/altitudes so people can't make home made rockets and shit.
While that is true, commercial flights aren't going over those limits (they're to prevent ICBMs). I used it on my last flight without issue and could see how close to my destination I was, how high the plane was and how fast we were going.
Might just be my phone then.. I fly pretty frequently and often check my phone to try and see how long it might be until landing but often it just shows the take off point
