DJI Fly app on Ipad mini

[Petrolhead]

Just got an Ipad Mini and the Fly app does not fill the screen. Is this because the app is configured 16:9 and an Ipad is 4:3?

haven't seen that as an issue with this app but have seen the screen size issue on different apps. Sometimes double tapping and pinching in or pinching out will snap the display back.

The problem is that the aspect ratio of the iPad Mini is 4:3. The app has filled the screen width. It cannot fill the height without stretching the video which would be distorted. You need a different tablet with a 16:9 ratio if you want to fill the screen.
To make matters worse, the iPad Mini has very wide bezels so the percentage of the tablet size that is usable, is rather small, not much better than a phone.

Is this an issue with iPad mini 5 as well?

I don't know about the iPad Mini 5, but the app works well on my iPad Mini 4. It doesn't fill the screen, but it still has a LOT more room and is much easier for me to use than on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Of course personal preference wins out here, but to me, even with some of the screen area unused, I think it's the perfect size. I tried it on my 12.9' iPad Pro and that was just silly big.

dont know, I just have mini pad2

Well....with so many people using the mini 4 and 5 the limited view on the display can't be that big of an issue.

DJI Go 4 adapts properly to a supported device's native screen aspect ratio so I would expect that this issue will be addressed in a future update of DJI Fly.

which version of the ipad mini is this? my best friend purchased a mavic mini and is thinking of getting a ipad mini 4, however he's not aware of this issue (assuming the ipad mini 4 has the same problem)

The app does not list for Ipads & mini pads, have no choice when downloading app dji fly for cell phones but list the pads within the phones

There is no fixing the problem with software updates or anything else. The app is filling the screen widthwise. To fill it heightwise would require clipping both ends of the video width. Any tablet that has a 4:3 aspect ratio will have this issue.

That is a different issue than the original post about black bars top and bottom. Your problem may be fixable in software.
