I have that has well on my iphone, check the compass readings and if they fine dont worry. I was worried when i first saw this and switched to my samsung before takeoff and suprisingly there was no errors, i put this down to a bug in the go4 app for ios, i did the remove and install again on iphone and still same, my friends also shows this error but it does not affect flight

It is not an error (compass shown as 'normal'), it is simply a shortcut button to calibrate the compass if needed. The school of thought amongst most is that compass should only need calibrating when advised by system, or perhaps investigating any erratic flight behaviour.
In  previous build this shortcut only appeared in the Aircraft Status listing IF system requested a calibration. For some reason DJI have changed their policy regarding compass calibration again in the latest manual for the Mavic Pro, which recommends calibration if over a certain distance from previous flight etc. The First manual, and the manuals for the P4, P4P, P4A & Inspire 2 recommended calibration only when system advised.

That is normal  DJI go app for android and apple may have some differences but they work the same.   It should be important to calibrate your compass if needed once there is a reminder

Make sure your RC is not set to 'sport' mode (switch on right side of RC), in sports mode 'Intelligent' flight modes will not be seen.

In your case 'ATTI' is showing on display which means no GPS reception available, which is required for Intelligent flight modes.

Thanks for that info, here I thought it was a bug in the ios app all the time.

Aardvark Is right on his reply.

The only thing I would add is if there is a Calibration Error make sure you are not standing over anything that would cause a magnetic interference. I once stood over a Surveyors' medallion, got the error ,recalibrated a few times before I was smart enough to move off of the medallion. The medallion was covered over with the landing pad

It's always there and very handy to calibrate quicker than going through all of the other screens.

Please do not feel worry about it. It shows "normal"  in your app. Please calibrate it when your app remind you. Or you can calibrate it when your drone fail to hover stably.
