Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the app need my location?
Qibla Compass uses your device's GPS to calculate the exact bearing from where you're
standing to the Kaaba in Mecca. Without location access, the app cannot determine your
direction.
Why is the compass needle inaccurate or jumping around?
Compass accuracy depends on your phone's magnetometer and nearby magnetic interference
(metal objects, electronics, car interiors, etc). If the reading looks off, try moving
away from metal surfaces and gently moving your phone in a figure-8 motion to recalibrate
the sensor.
Does the app work indoors?
GPS and compass accuracy can be reduced indoors. For the most accurate reading, use the
app outdoors or near a window with a clear view of the sky.
Which map providers does the app support?
Qibla Compass lets you choose between Apple Maps and Google Maps as your background map,
with the Qibla direction and great-circle path to Mecca overlaid on top.
Is my location data stored or shared?
No. Your location is used only on your device to calculate the Qibla direction in
real time. It is not stored, transmitted, or shared with any third party.
Privacy
Qibla Compass does not collect, store, or transmit personal data. Location data is used
solely on-device to calculate your direction to Mecca.
