Noor: Qibla Finder — Support

We're happy to help.

How do I use it?

Allow location when asked, then hold your phone flat and turn slowly. The beam of light points to the Kaaba in Makkah — when you face the Qibla, the screen warms to gold and your phone gives a gentle tap.

The direction seems off

Compass accuracy depends on your phone's magnetometer. Hold the phone flat and away from metal, magnets, cases with magnets, speakers, or cars. If asked to calibrate, wave the phone in a figure-8 a few times. Make sure Location Services is on.

It shows "north-up — compass needs a device"

That message appears on hardware without a working compass (for example the iOS Simulator). On an iPhone with Location Services enabled, the live compass works normally.

How do I switch between English and Arabic?

Tap the EN / ع toggle in the top corner. Your choice is remembered.

Why does it need my location?

Your location is required to calculate the Qibla direction and distance from where you are. It is used only for that and is never stored or shared. See our Privacy Policy.
