Many players report that the Monopoly Go airplane mode glitch is not working after a patch for the game in June 2024. The APM hack is a popular cheat for players to be able to get through the entire list of rewards for tournaments, banners, and major mini-games. By enabling airplane mode, you can see what some future rolls might be for a particular dice multiplier. But Scopely has been cracking down on this with several patches, for better and worse, by making the game pause after just a roll or two when airplane mode is turned on. This makes using this glitch very difficult since it makes players restart the game often and waste a lot of time. That said, here are some ways to fix the airplane mode hack for Monopoly Go.
How to fix Monopoly Go Airplane Mode hack after June 2024 Patch
There are two ways to fix the airplane mode hack for Monopoly Go after the June 2024 patch. The first solution is the more common solution while the second requires a second phone.
- Use a VPN
- First, find a VPN on iOS or Android depending on your mobile phone. There are many free VPNs that you can download, but some of the paid VPNs have more options and better connections.
- Turn on the VPN and choose a location that isn’t in your region. You may need to try different regions for this fix to work, but in general we recommend picking a region that’s far away from you. If you’re based in the North America, selecting an Asian country is a good idea.
- Play Monopoly Go with the VPN on. When you turn on airplane mode, it will take longer for the game to register that it’s on. This should extend the amount of rolls you can see in advance from 1-2 to 5-7. It’s not a lot but it’s better than nothing.
- Use two phones to play Monopoly Go
- If you have two phones capable of playing Monopoly Go, you can log into the game on those two different platforms.
- When you turn on airplane mode on one phone, roll until the pop-up message appears saying that there’s no internet.
- Then with knowledge of the rolls, use the other phone and use airplane mode when you need to. When you get the pop-up message on that, turn off airplane mode on the other phone and wait until you can play again. You may need to restart the game if it hangs. But this should lower the amount of downtime between reloading the game and having the pop-up message clear.
These will likely be temporary fixes until Scopely decides to patch airplane mode again, but these two solutions will work for now.
Should the Monopoly Go airplane mode hack be patched?
Whether Scopely should patch APM is up for debate. Players who use airplane mode are technically cheating and Scopely doesn’t condone the use of this cheat. The APM hack also makes it difficult for those who play the game legitimately to compete with the cheaters if they happen to be in the same tournament bracket. People who have use this cheat to bank thousands of dice at this point are not likely to purchase anything, which is partially why the developer feels unconcerned about preventing airplane mode from working properly.
On the other hand, players who use APM tend to get five-star sticker packs more easily. This means that the supply of five-star stickers as well as gold stickers during Golden Blitz events goes up, making trades less of a burden. These extra duplicates makes giveaways and gifting more frequent both in the game and on various Monopoly Go communities. These players also tend to be active in the community, providing tips and information to others. They also are more commonly grouped up together in tournaments anyway, leaving most legit players out of the bracket.
Either way, we should expect Scopely to place more restrictions on the APM cheat in the future.
