Hello - I'm a newbie to this drone and forum, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. Is it essential to update the firmware if your drone is functioning properly? I see a lot of horror stories reported with updates and it's making me a little gunshy.
 
It's not essential and the DJI GO app will not force you to install it.
 
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Phantom Pilots forum. I hope that you will take advantage of the benefits that come with membership and that you will be able to use the forum for the exchange of innovative ideas and as a resource for current developments in Phantom quadcopter’s.

It is completely voluntary. If you are not having problems and the update does not have anything new that interest you could choose to not update. ;)
 
If you decide to update, how big are the files? Will it zap my phone data package?

Updates are usually around 30 MB zipped -- or 60 MB unzipped.
