If you are using a magnetic case (NOT a MagSafe which is totally fine) the compass will be off.

If your compass becomes misaligned restart or hard reset the iPhone. In settings disable use true North

In Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > toggle on Compass Calibration
