The steps might vary somewhat depending on the model of drone you have, and the app that goes along with it to complete the connection.

You can also scan the QR code on the manual to immediately take your phone to the download page of the app.

Connecting to your drone via Wi-Fi will allow your smartphone to use it through the Syma Fly app.

Step 4: Complete the settings #

When your drone and your smartphone are connected to one another via Wi-Fi, you should now go to your Syma Go app. If you see the option to press Start in your app, that means that the connection was successful.

Why Won’t My Drone Connect? #

Connecting to a Syma drone shouldn’t be that hard because the connection process is very simple and easy to follow. However, even if you do follow the instructions completely, there are some cases where you might still struggle to connect. That said, try these quick fixes:

Make sure you downloaded the right app. Even if you were able to connect the two devices together using Wi-Fi, you will not be able to complete the connection unless you use the correct app. There are different Syma drones that use different apps, and that is why you need to make sure you download the correct one.
Turn off your mobile data connection when establishing a connection with your Syma drone over Wi-Fi, because you want your phone to focus on connecting with your drone’s Wi-Fi network.
Close other apps on your phone. All of the background apps that are using memory or are using the internet should be closed as well. You don’t want your smartphone to be full of bloatware while connecting with your drone.
Try disconnecting all of the other devices that are connected to your smartphone such as Bluetooth devices like headphones.
Make sure that your drone’s battery is full during the first time you connect it with your phone.
Use a newer phone. If you are using a very old phone, try using a new one because the old phone might not be compatible with your Syma drone.
