How to fix this error?
Here are x fixes you can try out.
Check if your phone is compatible
Depending on which version of the DJI app you’re using, check to see if the app is compatible with your phone in the first place. DJI provides compatibility lists for Fly, Pilot, GO and GO 4 apps on its website. If your phone isn’t on the compatibility list, you can expect to see issues with the app.
Reinstall the app from DJI’s website
While it’s generally not advised, in case the app you downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store isn’t working as expected, you can try downloading the app from the DJI website. Keep in mind that this only works for Android apps as iOS apps cannot be sideloaded and are only available from the Apple App Store. You can download the Fly, Pilot, GO and GO 4 apps at the aforementioned links.
Update your phone
Updating your Android or iOS device to the latest software version available can also fix the issue. More often than not, in-app issues are caused by a software flaw in either the app or the phone OS. In case you’re already running the latest version of the app, updating your phone to the latest version can help resolve the issue.
