Should you turn this off to stop interfence when flying?

Personally yes - I always put my device into airplane mode.
Many will say they have never had a problem in 200 flights etc etc but the fact is close proximity rf can interfere with other transmitting/receiving devices due to the front end being swamped by a harmonic of the interfering device.
You may have many uneventful flights but my philosophy is why potentially risk something when that risk can be completely eliminated by a simple setting.
Aviation is all about risk mitigation

Once I've got maps downloaded on cellular network for where I'm flying I will turn my phone on airplane mode, mainly so calls/texts don't interrupt. I also quit all other apps running in the background so the GO App has all of the phone's processing power available.

What happens if the Mavic flies out of wifi range or some how gets disconnected from the wifi?
