I updated my DJI Go app when it was released. Yesterday, 15th I took my Phantom for the first flight since the update. 2min into the flight my aircraft started spinning and went down. Unfortuately I could not recover it as it crashed more than 100 meters below into the river. I wanted to photograph the bridge. Everything was fine during the pre-flight checks. The blades was correctly tightened etc. The aircraft was hovering in place. So it was also not doing strange manuvers which might have caused this. The only thing that changed was the new updated app. Could this have caused this crash?

I am sorry for your loss! Did you find your drone ? Did you do the IMU and compass calibration after update?

I could not find the drone. No calibrations was required by the app on sceen. I genetally have to do the compas calibration usually.
