How to face the Qibla in United States
- Open your phone’s compass and set it to true north if the app allows it.
- Turn until the compass reads the bearing of your city from the table above.
- You are now facing the Kaaba in Mecca.
If the compass only shows magnetic north, correct for the local magnetic declination. For the bearing at your exact position rather than the city centre, the live Qibla finder uses your device location and compass.
Also for United States: prayer times for your location and sunrise and sunset in United States.
