DJI launches a privacy mode for its drones after US Army ban

DJI has launched a Local Data Mode that stops internet traffic to and from its app when its drones are in flight. The new mode, announced back in August after the US Army banned DJI drones for possible cyber vulnerabilities, is essentially a privacy feature. It will be available in the latest update to the DJI Pilot app on CrystalSky (DJI’s propriety tablet optimized for its drones) and on some Android tablets. The mode isn’t yet available for iOS or consumers using the DJI GO 4 app,
