I've just upgraded my phone from a Google Pixel 5 to a Pixel 6. Installed the latest Fly app, however when I use the app I get no video feed from the drone.

I shows the histogram fine but no video. Swapped back to my Android ablet running the same software and video feeds fine.

DJI any suggestions please  :-(

Is your table running Android 12?  

DJI Mod will probably come back and tell you that the DJI Fly App is not currently compatible with the new Pixel 6.

Hello there Bings Mavic Air 2. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. Upon checking the said mobile device ( Google Pixel 6 ) that your are using on the DJI Fly application. I am sorry to say that the said mobile device is not recommended for the said DJI application. We would suggest using a recommended mobile device for the DJI Fly application for compatibility and reliability purposes. There is a possibility that the Google Pixel 6 will be able to work on the DJI Fly application. But however, since it's not yet optimized with the said DJI application we cannot guaranteed if it will work all the time and if it will be able to run all the functions of the DJI Fly application while using it. For reference I will post a link where in you can check the recommended mobile devices for the DJI Fly application ( https://www.dji.com/downloads/djiapp/dji-fly ). Thank you.

I have the same problem.  This isn't cool DJI. People get new phones all the time and shouldn't be held back because DJI fly app isn't flexible. This is a major phone and there should be a plan communicated to fix this and a timeline shared.

I can't use my drone now

I have the same issue with the pixel 6 Pro and mini 2. We realize that this phone is not listed as a compatible device, but we would like to bring this issue to the attention of dji as something that needs to be addressed. This is going to be a very popular device, and there will be many disappointed customers until it is resolved.

I have the same problem.  
Guess I didn't have DJI Fly compatibility on my check list of things that a new phone must support.
Bound to be a popular phone, I think, except for existing and potential DJI customers.

That's really poor foresight on DJIs part. The Google Pixel range of phones are a premium product and very popular. Surely DJI must be looking at any new releases and keeping their EXISTING customers happy by ensuring their apps are going to be compatable.

Same issue for Mavic Air 2. Tried on iPhone 12, Samsung Galaxy S7+. No issue with those.
Saying Pixel 6 Pro isn't a compatible device is awful. Figure it out DJI!

This is a major issue.  The drone shouldn't be released when not yet compatible with a major phone model.  That on top of not having a many of the features yet until January firmware update.  Thankful to have my old Samsung device to use as a screen.  Now they can sell it for Christmas though....

They don't seem too interested in fixing the issue.  We'll get it when we get it.
