Compass not working properly on iOS 12.4.1

Tried all suggestions and compass still points west, not north. Any suggestions? Have iPhone 6s Plus.

ImportantThe accuracy of the compass can be affected by magnetic or environmental interference; even the magnets in the iPhone EarPods can cause a deviation. Use the digital compass only for basic navigation assistance. Don’t rely on it to determine precise location, proximity, distance, or direction.
