.. and it is not only the compass, also the maps are not turning anymore into driving direction. It seems to be an OS issue, as I have the same problem with all the Apps using maps or directions based on compass information.
Anybody the same experience or a solution?
Thanks
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3, just updated to 9.3
I, too, have the same problem and have tried all of the remedies above and none work.
I can get the compass to work by rebooting my iPhone 6 Plus (iOS 10.x) but after a while it stops again. This is a real pain.
Suggestions
Working fine for me - just used Apple Maps
Try this -
Turn location services off
Restart your device
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Then turn locations services on again and see if that resolves your issues
Thanks, but did not work. It also looks like the calibration of the compass is not working anymore. I have switched on everything under the respective services - but the compass does not move at all - I can turn the phone as much as I want....
Hello dilbert6370.
I also found this problem today. My compass was not moving.
After reading this post I went to Configurations -> Compass and disabled "Use True North".
For me this solved the problem.
It is realy strange problem.
Best regards.
I am having this exact same issue on the iphone 6 running 9.3.2 Nothing seems to fix the issue. I can plug an address into google or imaps and navigate just fine. But the compass doesn't work. When trying to use imaps to navigate on foot without plugging in an address or location, the screen never rotates allowing you to navigate with a compass feature. This also effects the geocaching app and star guide. extremely frustrating!!
Same problem here. Nothing seems to help. It's interesting, that it works sometimes. But most of the time the compass and all gyro/compass dependent software are 30-180 degrees off. Sometimes, but only sometimes ( can be a coincidence ) it helps to move the phone in a 8 pattern and then I get almost a calibrated compass. All the suggestions with fresh install, calibration off/on in the privacy settings didn't work. I really hope that Apple will be able to fix this as soon as possible.
Turning off "use true north" and then killing he app and opening it again worked aces! Thank you! Haven't been able to use the compass since iOS 8.
Click Settings --> Privacy --> Location Services --> System Services (All the way at the bottom of screen) then
--> Compass Calibration. That was what worked with my iPhone 6. Good luck!
Worked perfectly thank you
Since the update to iOS 9.3 compass is not working anymore
