Just switched to DJI Go 4.0 and Follow Me doesn't work any more with Mavic on iPhone 6. Tried old DJI Go 3.x and it works fine.

How do I report the bug to DJI?

No error messages. The GPS signal is strong. Do you want me record video from drone? The drone just sit still, regardless how far I move away.

You may have lost the follow me mode but at least you've got a bonus vacuum cleaner in it's place!

If convenient, you can use a screen record software to record a short video.

I am having some issues with that and point of interest, it won't lock onto a object I want to circle around to it always lock to my home position being that its a POI. Another thing with this version I am getting downlink video cut off it will just turn blank all of sudden and I do not like this because i have to hit RTH... There are many bugs with this version of 4.0 on the mavic I will make more testing but as of now the video link on my iPhone all of sudden it will lose video signal turn blank and when I hit RTH to get video signal I won't get signal until the craft is hovering over on top of me and there are funny lost of GPS sometimes its all weird today I had bad flight experience no crashes but video signal lost and so on

It didn't work in the previous version of DJI Go either.  I got lucky once, but no luck since then.  Are we missing something?  Here's my video...

Could you please clarify what mobile device you are using and your DJI Go version?

I'm on Galaxy S6, the video was done with DJI Go V3.1.0.  I tried it again today, using DJI Go V4.0.0 and would work intermittently.  In general, I saw a few problems:

First, Follow Me mode would exit without any input from me.  I think it exited as soon as my phone didn't have a strong GPS signal.  I would rather it didn't exit when the GPS signal dropped down, so when the signal was strong again, it could resume and chase after to a relative location.

Second, Follow Me mode couldn't keep me in frame properly.  Most of the time , I was about to walk out of the frame.  It should have framed me with 1/2 to 2/3 of the frame in front of me.  If it can't do that, then this mode is pretty much useless to me.

Third, Follow me mode seemed to resist my stick inputs.  I had a hard time pointing it at me, moving up/down, moving closer or further away, and orbiting.  It was like it new I was trying to move the Mavic, but it wanted to go back to it's previous position.  How should it behave?

Thanks for your feedback. What's your current firmware version?
