How to Connect DJI Spark to iPhone or How to Avoid Common Technical Issues Related to this Aspect

Last month, DJI, a well-known drone manufacturer, presented a brand-new drone model – the Spark. The new model was regarded to be the best of its kind. The new drone is small but very powerful. It perfectly suits for beginners who want to master the art of drone flying.

If you want to buy DJI Spark in Dubai, you can find it in our online store, an authorized DJI dealer, Aeromotus. Choosing authorized dealers guarantees resolution of any technical issues in the future.

However, at the moment DJI received complaints from a small number of pilots about some glitches related to the Wi-Fi connection. This issue is not critical and can be fixed by users without the assistance of DJI engineers. Actually, the issue which was considered by pilots as a glitch was a new, special mode. We made a guide which explains the way the issue can be easily solved.

DJI made a special statement in which they announced that the ‘Fly More Combo’ mode was developed to pair the drone with the remote control without making additional settings. When this mode is activated, the Spark’s wireless network doesn’t appear on the user’s smartphone.

Resetting the Wi-Fi network of the drone allows pairing the drone directly to the phone.

Here is the detailed explanation of the issue faced by the Spark pilots.

During the general setup process, it is expected that the drone automatically appears in the DJI Go 4 application and in the list of the user’s Wi-Fi network. However, when the ‘Fly More Combo’ is enabled, the system behaves in a different way.
