Hey Charlotte!

I use an Android phone so I'm afraid my instructions won't be as detailed for an iPhone. It's my understanding that this works just as well on iPhone as Android, though. It sounds like after turning on airplane mode you are opening a fresh instance of Tiny Village. That won't work.

So let's start with Tiny Village running. You've just checked on your egg progress and you're ready for the next step. Essentially what you need to do next is to "minimize" Tiny Village and open your system settings or wherever you can conveniently turn on airplane mode. The key is to access airplane mode without closing or stopping the Tiny Village application. You just want to minimize it long enough to turn on airplane mode.

On Android you can do this two ways. The first way is to hold the "home" button until a list of recently used apps pops up. If you recently used "settings" that should be one listed. You then selet "settings" and turn on airplane mode. Immediately after that you would hold the "home" button again until the list of recently used apps pops up again. Tiny Village will be listed so you tap it, and Tiny Village will "maximize."

The second way is to hit the "home" button which will return you to your homescreen. Once there you can open up system settings to turn on airplane mode or if you have an airplane mode toggle/widget on your homescreen you can tap that instead. Once airplane mode has been tapped, you press and hold the "home" button until the list of recently used apps pop up. Tiny Village should be listed. If it is, you tap it.

Once again, the key is to not close or force stop Tiny Village in any way. If while attempting to "maximize" Tiny Village you see the connecting/loading screen you have restarted Tiny Village which won't work. Tiny Village cannot be started fresh with airplane mode on.

Try that, Charlotte, and let me know what happens. Worst case scenario, it doesn't work and I'll direct you to someone on this Wiki who uses an iPhone to do this.

Best of luck!
