Search for your city or use your location to find the Qibla.
How to find the Qibla
Set your location
Search for your city or tap “Use my location”. The Qibla is the great-circle direction from there to the Kaaba in Makkah.
Turn on the live compass
On a phone, tap “Enable live compass” and allow motion access. The needle then rotates as you turn, pointing straight at the Qibla.
Calibrate for accuracy
If the needle drifts, wave your phone in a figure-8 a few times and keep away from magnets, speakers, laptops and metal desks.
No compass? Use the angle
On a laptop or a phone without a compass, face true north and turn by the degrees shown to face the Qibla.
About the Qibla direction
The Qibla is the direction Muslims face in prayer — toward the Kaaba in the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) in Makkah.
The bearing is calculated precisely from your coordinates to the Kaaba. Live-compass accuracy depends on your phone's magnetometer, so calibrate it for the best result.
Phone compasses read magnetic north and are easily disturbed by nearby metal, magnets or electronics. Recalibrate with a figure-8 motion, away from interference.
Yes, though most laptops have no compass. It shows the exact bearing from true north so you can align using a physical compass or a map.
The Qibla direction is computed on your device. If you use city search, only the city name is sent to look up its coordinates — your precise GPS position is never uploaded.
