Default Iphone compass?

Long story, long...


My old Iphone 3?? passed away last week. I took it with me for a day's stay in hospital for a biopsy, then promptly forgot about it for the rest of the week in my jacket pocket. When I remembered it, it was of course flat, but this time I couldn't recover it on it charger.


Whilst working, I developed a deep seated hatred of being constantly at the end of a mobile phone.



So, a few days ago I decided it was about time I treated myself by buying a replacement and ended up with a new/ old stock Iphone SE. I am very impressed with what it can do and how fast it is compared to my 3??, plus the many apps that my old one didn't support.


The 3?? had a compass, which you waggled in a figure of 8 to calibrate it. My SE seems no to need this (?). I thought it was supposed to be a magnetic compass, but putting a magnet near it seems not to change it or change its predecessor. Do they use a magnetic compass, or something else?


One astronomy app I have, combines the camera's view, with a view of the planets and stars, but it is several degrees out - on a morning it shows the virtual sun several degrees north, of the actual sun seen in the camera's view. Likewise, all the other features seem a few degrees out.


Question - Does pressing the Home button and going back to the home page, close down any running apps? If not, how do you close them down?

Double press home key and you’ll see everything that’s open and you simply flick them upwards. They say you don’t need to do this now but I still do
