QGroundControl on Android and Follow Me mode

QGroundControl Using QGroundControl
2

You’re using ArduPilot (and quite an old version), so we should probably have this discussion at discuss.ardupilot.org
Two reasons for what you’re experiencing.

  1. Missionplanner uses an older method for follow that was never implemented in QGroundControl.
  2. A new follow mode was implemented in the Copter 3.6 release. I’ve never tested that with QGC but if it doesn’t “just work” it shouldn’t be too hard.

So basically you need to update your firmware or use Missionplanner
