How to disable iPhone mic during flight

[Gerry65]

hi folks. I've only flown a few times with the Mavic but I remember getting a message from the Go app on my first flight asking me if I would give the app access to my iPhone's microphone. In a haste I tapped 'yes' but now I'd like to turn it off because all it does is record sounds in the vicinity of the phone. I can't find an answer to this by googling or searching the forums or in the manual. Anyone know how? Thanks.

It's a brand-new feature. I believe it is in the advanced settings. But, you cannot see it unless the Mavic is actually connected to the controller.

You will find that there are a few settings that you cannot see unless the aircraft and the controller or connected.

It's in the general settings.

Oy! Great! I tried kilrah's answer but that disables Siri and I can't live w/o her. Thanks a bunch for info and screen shot.

Oh, ok. That's it. You think I would've known to look there. Thanks.

No it doesn't, unless you did something odd. It disables the mic for just the app you choose to remove the permission from.

Removing the mic permissions from the DJI app in no way affects anything to do with Siri.

Although given he provided a Google search result, you may have seen different results and followed the wrong instructions

This shows disabling the mic in Facebook, the same applies to other apps:

(not that you need it, now you've found the option in the DJI app itself)
