According to a report from xleaks7 (David Kowalski) on Twitter after this feature the device will automatically turn on connected flight mode when the user is onboard on the flight. It will do so by detecting pressure drop, acceleration/velocity, cabin sounds, ultrasonic signal, GPS signal, Cellular ID, and Wi-Fi signal to turn off automatic backups, background application refresh, and updates.

Google will likely discontinue a manual flight mode on its devices soon. More details – https://t.co/KZ82FddchH
