How do I find the Qibla direction from my location?
Tap “Use My Location” and allow location access, or search for your city. The tool calculates the bearing to the Kaaba from your coordinates and shows it as a needle on the compass dial, in degrees from true north, together with the distance to Makkah.
How accurate is this Qibla finder?
The bearing is the exact initial great-circle direction to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E) for the coordinates you provide. Accuracy then depends on your location accuracy and, on phones, on compass calibration — keep the phone flat and away from metal for the best reading.
Can I use it without allowing location access?
Yes. Deny the permission and use city search or type your latitude and longitude manually. The direction checker page is designed for exactly that — no GPS or sensor needed.
Why does my phone compass point slightly differently?
Phone compasses sense magnetic north, can drift, and are disturbed by metal objects, magnetic cases, cars and reinforced concrete. Calibrate by moving the phone in a figure-eight, and cross-check with the map line, which does not depend on any sensor.
Is my location stored or shared?
No. Your coordinates are used only inside your browser to run the calculations. Nothing about your precise location is sent to a server or to analytics. The only thing saved is the place you picked, in your own browser's local storage, so the tools remember it next visit.
