Calibrate: move your phone in a figure-eight a few times.
Hold your phone flat and away from metal, speakers and magnets. The bearing is measured from true north, while phone compasses sense magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees in Europe and the Gulf and by more in North America and Australia. Use the Sun check to correct for it. The small sun on the dial shows where the real Sun is. If they line up, your compass is accurate.
How to get an accurate qibla reading
- Take off magnetic phone cases and stand away from cars, steel desks, speakers and power cables.
- Calibrate first: move the phone slowly in a figure-eight three or four times.
- Hold the phone flat and watch the bubble; when it is centred the reading is steadiest.
- Use the Sun check on a clear day. It corrects both the phone's error and the difference between magnetic and true north.
- Turn your whole body, not just the phone, until the gold arrow points to the top and the dial glows.
