Drone does not respond to controller

I have not used my Mini 2 in a couple of years because of restrictions where I used to live. Now, I have updated all firmaware and fully charged the batteries and the light on the aircraft blinks green. The controller connects to the aircraft, and I can see the image that the aircrtaft sees, on the iphone.. However, the propellors will not respond to the controller, If I press the auto takeoff button, or use the joysticks, nothing happens at all. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
