Yes but the cellular toggle is for mobile data only. Turning it off won’t stop your phone from trying to connect to a network when there isn’t any (which drains the battery unnecessarily). Airplane mode turns off the antenna completely. The person I was replying to appears to say there is a button to do the latter without using airplane mode.
