As a new Mavic owner I've been going through all the menus to familiarize myself where everything is. I noticed the beginner mode was not ON when I first started DJI Go 4 app. Is this something that should of been enabled by default?
Is the beginner mode ON by default?

It usually is, and it should be on if the app is connected to the Mavic. You can't see or adjust any settings if the app is disconnected.
That's strange. Everything was connected. I did my first hover indoors just to get a feel for it.
I think I know why it was not on by default... I did not get any kind of activation screen where it asks your preferences when launching the app as seen in the video below. So why didn't I get any kind of activation prompts?

It seems it was already activated by someone else. Was your Mavic brand new?

That's odd. I've never heard of anyone being able to use a Mavic for the first time before activating it in DJI GO.

Did you set a name for your Mavic? This is part of the setup and registration. When you look in the DJIGo app it should have the name in there. If it has a name and not one that you set then it would appear to have already been registered?
Check the flight logs too, see if any are recorded from before you bought it. Wondering if it may be refurbished rather than new.

No it did not ask me to give it a name. I checked DJI Go 4 app for a name and it's just blank. The only flight logs are mine.
