I’m finding MagSafe cases seem to make maps and compass inaccurate by pointing in completely the wrong direction

In general, phone compasses use a ton of digital tricks to seem accurate despite lots of interference. I havent seen any indication the compass is worse after MagSafe, but it most certainly required Apple to refresh their compass performance When it debuted.

So why does my compass never point in the right direction ever since using a spigen MagSafe case?

Do you have compass calibration turned on under Settings > Privacy and Security > Location Services > System Services > Compass Calibration
