Hi,
because using WiFi, the mini is not meant to fly a long distance from the operator. Seen it size and in most countries you have to see the drone, I think the aim is around 500m.
Putting the phone into airplane mode will help. Since all communications have also a magnetic field around the antennas, they will influence your controller. Shutting down communications by using airplane mode will help. Besides, you don't want a telephone call when you are flying.
In a rural area you probably won't have influence of a lot WiFi signals, but be aware of direct radio transmission signals. Radio stations might make use of powerful point to point antenna in which they have a strong bundle of radio waves. Flying in a rural area with my Mavic 1 pro some years ago, I noticed some disturbance in the transmission. The Mavic 1 doesn't use WiFi and has a strong signal. However, the drone was not more than 500m away from me. When looking around, I noticed some radio direct transmission antenna's. Didn't had any other problems before and after that incident.
