Download Apple Compass App !NEW!

From one day to another the standard compass app on my iPhone X (iOS 12.14.1) has stopped working. It is frozen with the pointer stuck vertically on North at the top of the screen. I have done restarts, forced restarts and checked that compass calibration is turned on. Everything is set correctly as far as I can see. I even deleted the app and re-installed it from the App Store several times.

Thanks for replying, i_rina! Before I did what you suggested (which is always a pain in the ***!!) I re-loaded the Compass app from the App Store again...and it now works! Perhaps my previous downloads from the App Store were somehow corrupted...it does happen, I think. GPS, compass orientation in Maps and portrait and landscape mode are all working fine, so I think the sensors on my phone are OK. I tried some other compass apps and they all worked fine, but I prefer the standard iOS compass. Just one of those weird things that can happen in iOS and on the Mac! Regards, Ian.

I found my iPhone X (256GB, space gray) compass not working, with compass app open I have my correct location with Lat/Long & elevation but the compass itself seems like been frozen and doesn't move at all, It shows the compass rose but the bubble does not move when phone is moved. When you press on the screen the numbers light up & when you press the screen again the numbers go dim but that's all it will do.

I found that shaking my device unfreezes it, but it can be as much as 100 degrees off, which I think you will agree is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. It works for a short time after a hard reset, but becomes frozen again very quickly. Going into settings is only a short term fix. I have several compass apps, one of which, I am developing and it only fails on the iPhone X, works perfectly on the other four iPhones I have!

As a friend pointed out, the app doesn't tell you exactly where you are, but it helps orient you. No matter how remote the location, it will tell you your bearings, coordinates, and elevation. While in the Chilean desert I was fascinated to learn that, at one point, I was at 13,000 feet. So that's why it was so hard to breathe! As someone who usually lives at sea level, it was cool to get a sense of elevation gain. I checked the compass frequently during a long drive.

Even if you haven't pre-mapped your route, the compass app can still be helpful. If someone gives you vague directions ("It's towards San Cristobal hill" or any big landmark that you know is at the top of the city or a few neighborhoods below you) or if you just have a general idea that your destination is in a certain part of town, this app can make sure you're on the right path.

Thanks, Sparks, for your quick answer. Unfortunately I do not believe it is interference. I have tried the compass in multiple locations, including outdoors on the street, precisely to check whether it was interference. The iPhone and Watch are consistent, they always are exactly 180 degrees off.

If you're seeing inaccurate results from the compass on your iPhone and Apple Watch, have you checked for potential sources of interference? We ask because this could affect the accuracy of the compass.

3. First, position your phone flat against your palm, with the screen facing upwards. Your iPhone has a built-in magnetic field sensor used by apps like Apple Maps, which you'll be using to calibrate the compass.

Once you've opened the Compass app and calibrated it, you'll see a series of numbers near the bottom of the screen. The first set of numbers the degrees. There are 360 degrees on the compass, 0 being north, 90 being east, 180 being south, and 270 being west.

I just bought the Ultra watch. Upon learning on how to use waypoint, I notice that its compass is pointing in the odd direction for North. So, I pulled out my iPhone 14 Pro Max hoping that it would confirm my suspicion, its North is also pointing a different direction. To make matter worse, the Ultra watch's North is not the same as the iPhone 14 Pro Max's North.

Hi. I just updated to iOS 10.3.2. When I went into the Maps app and tapped the pointer I got a compass calibrating circle. It's the one where one has to roll a ball round a circle perimeter. I tapped 'Cancel' just under the circle, thinking I could come back to it again (last time I do that dumb move with an Apple product!). When I went back in to Maps the calibration interface did not reappear! Grrrrrrr. P.S. Apple: If one cannot get a setting interface back...please don't add a cancel option! Just don't allow one to progress to next screen till complete!

Thanks for all your feedback. Unfortunately there isn't an Apple 'compass' app on the iPad Pro like there is on the iPhone. I downloaded one or two compass apps from the app store and they had no way to calibrate the electronics.

As an aside: I used to be a rock climber and I always went into the mountains with a proper good old fashioned compass as part of my 'basic stuff one should never be without' gear! No need for batteries or any calibration!

This isn't just my device either. Last year a bunch of my friends with iPhones were laughing at how all our Compass apps were pointing different directions. Why is the compass in iPhones so incorrect?

Have you ever opened Google Maps or even Apple Maps on your iPhone and found that the compass was pointing the wrong direction? You're looking one way up the block but the compass says you're pointing the opposite direction?

I have another gripe. Nowhere does it show on the compass display which mode is set (magnetic/true). As a boater who switches back and forth between the two modes, it is critical that I know which setting I'm on. I also have questions about the reliability and repeatability of the compass readings. Oddly, I think the compass worked better in the iOS 6 version. Why can't the setting be changed directly on the compass display? I'm fine with Apple designers getting rid of skeumorphic display stuff in favor of a different look. That's fine for me either way. What really matters is the function and ease of interpreting the display. I think Apple fell down badly on the redesign!

I also have the feeling that the compass worked better in iOS6 . I used the compass regularily . After the iOS upgrade I find the compass to be rather useless so I started using a regular compass again. I tried other compass apps but the behavior is the same. Must be an iOS 7 problem since my hardware did not change.

Had the same issue. Solved by reset the location and privacy on iPhone. Go to settings -> general -> transfer or reset iPhone -> reset -> reset location & privacy. After reset, reopen the compass app on watch and grant location permission.

I tried this and worked on my Ultra 2. No reason why it shouldn't on non ultra. I tested with 3rd party compass apps and all could save waypoints and showed lat+long. So it is a watchOS 10 problem, software problem, not hardware. First check is see if lat and long are showing on watch, if not, then its an issue. Do this. Uninstall compass app from iphone. reboot iphone. You will notice compass on watch disappears when you do this. When iphone is on again, reinstall compass app. reboot iphone. when iphone is on again, go to settings>general>transfer or reset iphone>reset>reset location & privacy>ok>exit settings. reboot iphone. when all this is done. force on/off watch. when watch is on again, you will see the compass app. Go in and see if lat and long are showing, it both are there. Problem is solved. You should now be able to add waypoint and use backtrace(on the ultra).

a little hesitant to update the watch OS (10.0.2) if the compass fix has not been resolved ... did anyone update to the new update 10.0.2 and see the update fix the compass issue without having to do any reset (location and reboot) on ultra 1/2 and 9 ?

assuming you did this before updating to 10.0.2, then compass app is working. After updating to 10.0.2 was compass ok or did you have to do the above again (i.e. force close compass, reset location+privacy) - that is the question

I try use compass in my ios app. And I have one problem with it. If i implement locationManagerShouldDisplayHeadingCalibration method and return YES in it, then calibration display is showing always. But I should make it like apple maps. I.e. calibration display should be showed sometimes. When compass should be calibration.

The developer beta of watchOS 10 is available to Apple Developer Program members at developer.apple.com starting today. A public beta will be available to watchOS users next month at beta.apple.com. watchOS 10 will be available this fall as a free software update for Apple Watch Series 4 or later paired with iPhone Xs or later, running iOS 17. Some features may not be available in all regions or all languages, or on all devices. Features are subject to change. For more information, visit apple.com/watchos/watchos-preview.

When I use the direction in maps the direction is almost always ~90 off, occasionally it will be 135-180 wrong but mostly it looks like I'm travelling sideways. The phone is flat. Is there something wrong with the hardware? Or can I manually calibrate it (like tell it to offset by 90)? Or tell it to ignore the compass and just use the direction of travel.

It has been suggested that Apple imposes a limit to the number of UI elements on-screen at one time ... if this is the problem, I would like the option of replacing the spedometer/speed limit display with a compass instead. That would be much more useful to me. ff782bc1db
