For a steady reading, hold your phone flat, away from metal, magnets and magnetic cases. If the direction jumps, move the phone in a figure eight to calibrate. Phone compasses follow magnetic north, which in some places differs from true north by several degrees; the bearing shown is from true north. The Zaad app’s Qibla screen shows how sure the compass is and when to calibrate.
