DJI App Not Working on Android: Solutions
Below are three methods for Android users.
1. Download & Install the DJI App from DJI Website
You might be having trouble with the DJI app because you don’t have the most recent version.
To get the current version of the DJI Fly app on your Android device, follow these steps:
- Step #1: On your Android device, go to the DJI website. Here are the links: DJI Pilot, DJI Fly, DJI GO 4, and so on.
- Step #2: When asked, allow your browser to download by clicking the “Download for Android” button. The app’s apk will be downloaded using this.
- Step #3: Find the apk in the “Files” app after it has been downloaded successfully. It will be listed under “Downloads.”
- Step #4: Find the app, download it, and then open it. In order to install the app, you will now be prompted and asked if you want to permit third-party installs. Hit ‘Accept’.
Your Android phone will then be updated with the DJI Fly app. Open the app and log in once it has been downloaded. I’m hoping that reinstalling the app on your device will fix the problem.
