So something's changed about DJI's API as well. In the past, you could use 3rd-party apps that extended features, and offered new ones. One popular app is Litchi https://flylitchi.com https://flylitchi.com However, DJI seems to have stopped updating their iOS API, so 3rd-party iOS apps won't work with any newer drones and Android stuff seems to be available only by side-loading. Perhaps there's something in the newer APIs that neither Apple or Google like? Sending back too much data to DJI?

This seems to be assured. Another comment mentions the collection of the phone’s IMEI. I’d love to see a proper security analysis of their packages, because I would be willing to bet cash money that every app they offer does multiple nefarious things to collect your personal and flight data. Sadly, such revelations still would probably not be enough to damage their reputation and sales in a meaningful way.

  > to collect your personal and flight data. Its no secret they save flight data (like everything you input, temperature, gps points...) in their cloud. I think there are workarounds for this, a friend of mine never paired his drone with a smartphone connected to any network. Iam pretty sure this will not work for a long time. Its very daunting if you ask me, the amount of data they gather. Not a small part of drones used in active wars, like ukraine right now, is by DJI. This is alot of power in the hands of a few.

It may not be there choice entirely with all the new FAA flight tracking regulations that recently came into force.
