DJI Fly 1.19.0 issue with AR functions

hedbonker · Nov 3, 2025

In the safety settings for the DJI fly app are the AR settings. These settings are only active when the remote is connected to the drone. These consist of 3 toggles:

Show AR Home point
Show AR Return to Home Route
Show AR Aircraft Shadow

All of these are turned on and have been since DJI added these features. However, after update 1.19.0 to the app, the route and shadow features do not work. I have these 3 toggles turned on but when I do a RTH neither the route overlay nor the AR shadow appear on the display anymore. Did something change that I need to deal with to re-enable these features? Clearly, a simple confirmation that these features are turned on is not the answer.

Thanks so much!

This is definitely an issue with the 1.19.0 update to the app. I tested with my iPad running 1.17 and it worked fine. Then I updated that to 1.19 and all of the AR features do not work just as my phone. Is anyone else out there running 1.19 that can test and see if the AR features are working for you?

After reading your post, I specifically checked this after updating both RC 2 and the Mini 4 Pro, and all of these three settings were functioning. Maybe just a problem with the Air 3?

I've just updated to 1.19.0 on the RC 2 controller and found all three AR features working just fine on the Mavic 4 Pro.

No issues or problems observed after the update. I think this one was primarily to accommodate the new Neo 2.

I had someone with an Air3s verify that they had the same issue so I suspect it has to do with the Air series. Thanks for checking this Gentlemen.

Bummer. Hope they get it resolved. That AR is one of the best newer features for flying in unfamiliar territory and instantly knowing exactly where you are located on the screen, especially after dark, and also managing a landing onto a dime!
