Inaccurate compass on iPhone 13

The compass on my iPhone 13 is wildly inaccurate. Calibration is on and I tried restarting it, but it is still not working well.

Hey there,

The 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.
