DJI Drone Apps Mobile Phone Compatibility
Learn how to ensure your smartphone is compatible with DJI’s three drone control apps for Apple and Android devices.
DJI App Mobile Phone Compatibility
DJI have 3 different apps for controlling drones via your smartphone or mobile device.
If your remote controller does not have a screen you will need to ensure your smartphone is compatible or you won't be able to fly.
This applies to the Mavic 3, Air 2S, Mini SE, Air 2 and Mavic series drones. This also applies to this DJI FPV, although it does not require an app to fly, you will need the app to activate it.
Remote controllers with screens, such as the DJI RC Pro, DJI Smart Controller and DJI Smart Controller Enterprise do not need a compatible phone as the apps are installed directly onto the remote.
DJI Drone Apps
Your drone user manual or packaging should tell you which app is the best for your drone. Different apps are compatible with different devices.
DJI Go and DJI Pilot have wider compatibility than the newer DJI Fly app. DJI Fly requires iOS 11.0 / Android 6.0 or higher, while DJI Pilot and the older DJI Go app are will be compatible with devices running iOS 10.0 / Android 5.0 and above.
DJI Fly - The DJI Fly app designed to be the simplest and ultra-intuitive for the latest consumer drones.
DJI GO 4 - The DJI flight app for previous generation DJI drones.
DJI Pilot - The DJI Pilot app supports the latest DJI enterprise drones.
Which phone is best for DJI drones?
When it comes to selecting which phone or tablet is the best for the latest DJI drones, we would always recommend the latest models.
More powerful devices and modern technology will always have their advantages when it comes to streaming high quality video while simultaneously transmitting data to and from your drone.
