General When starting the app for the first time after installation, you will need to be connected to Internet in order to register the app with DJI servers. Registration with DJI servers can be done without being connected to a DJI drone. The registration is done in the background, if the registration failed you will be notified with an error popup. Be aware that some Internet connections may have troubles connecting to DJI servers, in such a case make sure to try a different Internet connection (home wifi, mobile data connection, a friend's connection, public wifi, etc).

To connect using a cable (Mini, Air, Mavic, Phantom 3 Adv/Pro, Phantom 4 and Inspire series), follow these steps: Make sure no DJI-based apps (including DJI Fly, DJI Go and other third party apps) are running in the background. If there are any, close them
If you have another app (such as DJI Fly or DJI Go) set as the default app to launch when you connect the remote controller, you will need to clear the defaults for that app: go to mobile device Settings - Apps - DJI Go (or other app name) - Clear Defaults. Some devices automatically set the app you start as default, so this step may have to be done every time you want to switch app (for example from DJI Fly to Litchi and vice versa)
Start your drone and remote controller, and let them initialize for a few seconds
Connect the remote controller to the mobile device. For Mavic drones, you can use either the bottom or side USB ports, however make sure to use only one port at once (if 2 cables are plugged in the remote controller, Litchi won't be able to connect)
You will see a popup asking which app to start, select Litchi in the popup to initiate connection
Info Watch a video tutorial for USB connection. To connect using Wi-Fi (Phantom 3 Standard/4K, Spark), follow these steps: Make sure no DJI-based apps (including DJI Go and other third party apps) are running in the background. If there are any, close them
Force stop all DJI-based apps (including DJI Go and other third party apps). Please note step 1 is not enough. To force stop an app, go to your mobile device Settings - Apps - DJI Go (or other app name) - Force stop
Start your drone and remote controller if you are using one, and let them initialize for a few seconds
Connect to the Wi-Fi network of the drone
Start Litchi
Make sure no DJI-based apps (including DJI Fly, DJI Go and other third party apps) are running in the background. If there are any, close them
Start your drone and remote controller if you are using one, and let them initialize for a few seconds
Connect the remote controller to the mobile device using a cable. For Wi-Fi based drones (Phantom 3 Standard/4K or Spark), connect to the Wi-Fi network of the drone instead
Start Litchi
Litchi allows you to control Wi-Fi based drones (Spark, Phantom 3 Standard, Mavic Air/Pro) with a bluetooth controller when no DJI remote controller is connected. If you are looking for a compatible bluetooth controller, we recommend the Mad Catz CTRL i for iOS. Litchi will automatically recognize and accept input from a bluetooth controller after it is paired with your mobile device.

In other words the aircraft will follow a mobile device that is not connected to the RC. Both mobile devices must be connected to the internet for Magic Leash to work. Warning At this time, Litchi Magic Leash does not transfer altitude data. This means that if you go up or down a hill using Litchi Magic Leash, the aircraft cannot adjust its altitude.

For over a year, Mini 2 users have been waiting for DJI to include their drone in the software development kit (SDK). Adding drones to it enables creators to include this aircraft in their applications. Even days before DJI published the newly updated SDK on their website, some apps already had a beta version available since December 31, 2021.
Litchi for DJI Drones is a popular autonomous flight app for DJI drones, an alternative to DJI Go or DJI FLY. The app, available for devices running Android and iOS operating systems, offers the user the possibility of creating automated missions, a few of intelligent flight modes, and, in general, an improved user experience.
Litchi has been available for quite a few years, but it was not until early 2022 when they included support for a few of the latest DJI drones, such as the Mini 2, Mini SE, or the Mavic Air 2S (the best bang-for-the-buck drone for real estate photography, as we talked in this article).
Many users expected Litchi to add support for the Mavic 3 by January 2022, but as we have seen with other releases from the Chinese company, DJI drones are usually included in the SDK after they have been in the market for a year or so.
In the user guide, they assure us that the new flagship commercial drone from DJI will be on the list of supported drones as soon as the manufacturer includes it in the SDK. It should be around November 2022. Take a seat and wait patiently if you own this drone, it will be worth it. 041b061a72
