I want to transfer my photos directly to my iPad Pro (15.6.1) but am unable to connect to the bird. My iPad
Bluetooth sees and connects, but DJI Fly app will not connect. Any ideas?

My iPad Pro picks up when the controller is off and the fly app activated on the
iPad. You need to have the mini on of course and I get the message on the fly app if I want to switch to quick transfer mode.
Of course you want that.
It asks most of the time to connect to the mini’s WiFi.
Sometimes you need 2 go’s

I think WiFi might be the keyword besides
Bluetooth?
With both switched on the transfer from the Fly app on my iPhone 11 and iPad Pro (M1) works like a charm as you described, no matter if the controller is on or off. If it's on, it shows, that a transfer is happening.

Make sure wifi is on and try turning off Bluetooth. Quick transfer uses only wifi.

I tried with both wifi and Bluetooth on and didn’t connect. I turned bluetooth off and got a message from FLY app to turn it on to connect. My iPad sees the device and
“connects”, but the app doesn’t. It works fine on my iPhone 12. I’m using v1.7.0 Fly app.

You could try un-installing app and re-install from the DJI website if you have not done so already... https://www.dji.com/downloads/djiapp/dji-fly

Hello there FL_Flyer. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for
reaching out. Kindly please try to uninstall an reinstall the DJI Fly application ( https://www.dji.com/dji-fly ) to see if the issue will still persist? In addition, please sync all of your flight records before uninstalling the DJI Fly application on your mobile device for you not to loose your previous flight information. If the issue persist kindly please try using a different recommended mobile device for us to be able
to isolate the said issue. Thank you.

Stephen, thank you very much for responding. I am experiencing this problem ONLY on
my iPad 3 Pro 11 (running iOS 15.6.1). My iPhone 12 connects easily. So far, I have deleted/re-installed v1.7.0 of DJI FLY and hard reset the iPad. I have tried to connect with wifi and Bluetooth “on” and with wifi turned “off”. When it was off, a pop-up in the App said to “turn Bluetooth ON to connect to accessories”. However, in “Settings/Bluetooth/My Devices” on the iPad, the mini 3 pro is seen and connected. However, in the DJI FLY app, the “switch” pop-up doesn’t appear and connection is
not possible.
I believe there may be a conflict between the DJI FLY software and iOS 15.6.1, similar to the problem of having to turn cellular “off” on the iPhone 12 in order to connect. Incidentally, this iPad DOES NOT have a cellular connection. Any assistance you could provide is appreciated.

It definitely has nothing to do with the iOS version, because with my iPad Pro 12,9" with M1 CPU (WiFi only) and iOS 15.6.1 it works.
Very strange, that it doesn't work for you.

Thanks for the input. I spent the afternoon fooling around with all my
devices and apps. After re-installing, resetting everything every-which-way, I tried DJI FLY re-install on my iPad once more. This time, I answered yes to the “allow the app access to your network” prompt. Then I cranked up the mini, and “viola” the switch prompt came up in the app. Success… I could see and d/l a photo ok. Thanks to everyone for taking a look and your suggestions.

Thanks for helping. It will be easier to have the images on my iPad instead of waiting for the cloud.
