Battery is draining fast with the live stream on at the curb. Airplane mode plus hotel Wi-Fi later, or kill the stream until we are back. Not a battery-swap cabinet hunt, and not phone torch etiquette.

Kill the stream at the curb if the battery is already low — you need maps and a ride home more than a second camera angle. Catch up on hotel Wi-Fi afterward.

If you must keep it, drop to audio-only or 360p and pocket the phone between checks.

Airplane mode only helps if you do not need WhatsApp for your group pin — otherwise just stop video.
