You will be amazed at the battery life improvement with a Faraday bag, even if you had been keeping it turned off. Not to mention the peace and quiet. It's there for you to use in need, not there sucking up all your attention.
I was just reading an article about a faraday bag and it said to put your phone or airplane mode before you put it in your bag because the battery will drain searching for a signal. Does that mean you can't get incoming phone calls I wonder? And I watch a lot of those crime shows where cell signals are tracked to find a missing person, or to establish a suspect's movements around a crime. I guess a faraday bag would prevent a criminal from being tracked too?
I was keeping my phone in airplane mode and turned off, and the battery was still draining in a day. Now it lasts three weeks. The newer the phone, the more it tries to connect with nearby phones or bluetooth devices, even when you try to disable this in the settings. That drains your battery. Also, other devices are trying to contact yours, and if your phone responds that drains the battery. Putting the phone in a Faraday bag makes it invisible as long as it is in the bag, it can't receive a signal. If it tries to send a signal, which it shouldn't if you switched that function off, the signal won't go anywhere and battery use will be minimal. Your mails and messages might pile up if they go to some cloud storage.. Yes, the just and unjust alike are hidden.

Yes, you’re correct. If it works it works. And yes it drains the battery searching for a connection.
Airplane mode turns the internet off, calls and text don't come in either. When reading a book I keep my tablet on airplane mode it saves the battery.
Yeah, I believe your phone will search for a signal. Put it in airplane mode. Being in a faraday bag stops all signals, in or out.
Airplane mode might not be true anymore, so the bag is a good idea.
