RTH problem-original Mavic Mini

[Cabut]

Mavic Mini, 14 satellites showing, fully charged ,and Home Point updated.
Firmware updated.
No RTH button showing on iPhone. Controller RTH button does not RTH.
No round icon on the the bottom center of the iPhone screen that
shows the controller in relation to the drone.
When trying to land the drone there is no option to RTH.
Its says the aircraft will land at its current location-fly with caution.

Does the drone need to be a certain distance from the controller for RTH button to show or what am I missing?

Best,
Cabut

How close was the aircraft to the home point when you attempted to use RTH?

From the Mavic Mini manual:
"If the aircraft is less than 20 m from the Home Point when the RTH procedure begins, it lands immediately"

Welcome.

Is the drone new to you?
From where did you get the control app?

Yes it is original to me.
I downloaded it from the App Store
The iTunes is no more on my iPhone 15. Will Music work?

Try flying further away and then you should find RTH works as expected.

The RTH is working now.
I reinstalled the DJI Fly app first. Then flew it above 20m and the RTH button appeared on the iPhone.

Still, no round icon on the the bottom center of the iPhone screen that
shows the controller in relation to the drone.

Thanks all!

The feature you are talking about shows different things which change when you tap it.
Experiment to see how it works.
