Hi sky6942O,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! Are you using any type of protective case or accessory that may be causing interference? If so, please try removing it and testing again. As noted in the guide below:
The accuracy of the compass can be affected by magnetic or environmental interference; even the magnets in the iPhone EarPods can cause a deviation.
If the issue, remains, we recommend that you reach out to Apple Support directly to take a further look. Please reach out here:
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
