Compass App doesn't show elevation

My Compass App doesn't show the elevation on my iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14.4 . I have location services on and it shows latitude, longitude, and place, but no elevation. Any insights? Thanks.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Hey there PonderosaPine11,


We'd like to help get the elevation showing within the Compass app on your iPhone.


As you have iOS 14.4 installed, we recommend updating to iOS 14.5, then test for the same issue.


Here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


You'll also want to keep in mind that magnetic interference and affect the Compass app. We recommend testing for the same issue in different locations while on foot.


Take care!
