I don't know anything about planes, but imagine if the reason why it crashed was someone doing livestream. I remember when boarding an airplane, they anounce before flying to stop using phones, gadgets and such, as it might interfere with the plane's....yeah I don't really know.

Even if a phone could disrupt the plane, all of the actual "flying" stuff is mechanical/wired and will work no matter what. I think the actual worry was that phones could interfere with ATC radio

I've always thought that if cell phones had even the slightest chance to cause a plane crash, the airlines wouldn't rely on the passengers to switch to airplane mode. They would take all the phones and put them in a closed safe for the duration of the flight.

Phones can possibly only interfere with communication with the tower/ground network at max and that also barely happens these days. So no, doing a livestream didn't cause the crash.

Nah, phone/livestreaming had nothing to do with it at all.

Pretty sure what it affected was just communication between the pilot and control tower.

They started getting rid of those rules, because they really didn't affect plane's safety at all: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-63786591
