I cannot connect the Litchi app even with DJI Fly disabled.  
I have no trouble with DJI Fly but I want to use Waypoints.

Sadly DJI has not released an SDK for the Mini 3 series of drones, so Litchi has no building blocks to create a waypoint platform for the Mini 3. I have put my Mini 3 up for sale because of this situation which I initially thought might change for the better.

The Mini 3 is supported by Litchi Pilot which is still in beta. The Mini 3 will not work with the regular Litchi app.

Thank you - I think it will be great.  
I might try Dronelink in the meantime.

Unfortunately, Dronelink doesn’t support the Mini3 either.  
Any other ideas?

Dronelink does support the mini3, if you mean not for onboard waypoints no one does as the mini3 is a VSC drone

I am new to Litchi and was under the impression that the latest version will be able to link and run teh Mavic Mini 3, however my drone just does not connect to the app, I’m almost thinking I bought a red herring here. Any help would be much appreciated.

I followed all the steps, start RC-NC1 controller, start Mini 3, close the DJI Fly app on phone, wait a short while (in my case 30 sec +) and open Litchi app and viola, absolute nothing! Using the iOS system and Litchi app version 2.15.9

Yes I know the DJI mini 3 is not the best tool in the shed but it’s what I have and would love to do tracking and waypoints.

Any help please

Which app are you trying to use with your Mini 3?

According to [Litchi’s Web-page](https://flylitchi.com/) the Mini 3 is NOT compatible with the regular Litchi app.

The [Litchi Pilot app](https://forum.flylitchi.com/t/open-beta-litchi-pilot/10621) is compatible with the Mini 3, however [Litchi Pilot](https://forum.flylitchi.com/t/open-beta-litchi-pilot/) is only available for Android.

Obviously the regular Litchi app because Litchi Pilot is NOT available for iOS.

Guess you’re correct, it’s Litchi for DJI not Pilot. I now see that iOS is and will not be supported, bummer.
