Has anybody seen this red Icon before?

It just means it's not sure where the phone's compass is pointing so it can't show your orientation to the drone. I used to have it all the time and figured the feature was buggy so I did not worry about it. Then an android update fixed it. Sometimes see it when I'm too close to the car, or resting the remote on a cattle gate or something silly like that. Just step away a few feet and it works properly again. No need to recalibrate or reboot drone, it's compass is working fine.

Thanks! I panicked a bit as generally in life, when something is flasshing red, no good will come of it :D Ive been using an iphone but now that you mention it, i never had the issue on my android S9+ so I might go back to that.

Oh! Found yet another cause!
