Compass not working properly on iOS 12.4.1

Tried all suggestions and compass still points west, not north. Any suggestions? Have iPhone 6s Plus.

Important: The accuracy of the compass can be affected by magnetic or environmental interference; even the magnets in the iPhone EarPods can cause a deviation. Use the digital compass only for basic navigation assistance. Don’t rely on it to determine precise location, proximity, distance, or direction.
