How To Install the DJI Fly App on Android Devices

The DJI Fly app is essential for flying compatible DJI drones, adjusting camera settings, and viewing the live feed during flight. Some Android users can’t find the app in Google Play, so knowing the correct installation methods ensures you avoid outdated files or unsafe downloads. This guide shows the safest, most reliable ways to install the DJI Fly app on Android at the time of writing, along with steps you can follow when the app refuses to install.

You can install the DJI Fly app using three main methods. Use DJI’s official download page or a verified APK source.

Method 1: Install directly from DJI’s website

DJI provides the current APK directly from its support page.

• Open your Android browser and go to the DJI product support page for your drone model.

• Download the latest “DJI Fly” APK file.

• It's a bit large at 600mb; wait for it to finish downloading.

• Open your phone’s Settings and enable installation from unknown apps for your browser.
• Open the APK file and tap Install.
• Launch the app once installation completes.

Method 2: Use a trusted APK repository

This option helps when the DJI site is slow or temporarily unavailable. Only use trusted APK sources to avoid modified files.

• Visit a reputable APK mirror site.
• Download the latest DJI Fly APK that matches your processor type (ARM64 for most phones).
• Enable “Install unknown apps” for your browser.
• Open the file and install DJI Fly.
