iPhone X: Recalibrate compass - how it works

To get the most out of the compass on your iPhone, you need to recalibrate it every time you open the app. However, calibration only takes a few seconds and is not complicated. If the app does not prompt you to calibrate, it is recommended that you restart your iPhone first.

iPhone X: Recalibrate compass - this is what you need to do

Calibrating your iPhone usually works automatically. You just need to follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration successfully.

1. Once the calibration starts, you will see a path and animation of your iPhone on your display.
2. Also perform the same motion with your iPhone in your hand.
3. Repeat the process until the calibration stops on its own and is confirmed as successful.
4. Once in a while, this process may take some time because the compass can not align properly, or you move too much.
5. Keep your body still while calibrating and try to stay in an open environment at best.

Things to consider

1. Without calibration, your compass may give incorrect readings.
2. Wenn Sie zu lange mit der Kalibrierung warten, wird diese automatisch abgebrochen.
3. In diesem Fall müssen Sie die App schließen und erneut starten.
