Hey srinivasa65,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I see you're having trouble with the Compass directions on your iPhone, so I wanted to recommend you check a few things. Head to Settings > Compass make sure that True North is enabled.


Use the compass on iPhone


"Allow Compass to access your location


If Compass doesn’t see your location, make sure you’ve turned on Location Services.


  1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, then turn on Location Services.
  2. Tap Compass, then tap While Using the App.


For more information, see Set which apps can access your location on iPhone."




See how that helps.


Cheers!
