Refresh location on arrival
Update the city in your app after a flight or long journey. If the phone’s time zone does not change automatically, prayer times may look plausible while reminders still run at the wrong local time.
Check Qibla in an open place
Metal structures and electronics in a hotel room can disturb the compass. Take the first reading near a window or outdoors and compare it with a trusted map direction when possible.
Prepare for limited connectivity
Before traveling somewhere with weak internet, view the destination’s times and save essential duas or surahs. Consult a trusted scholar or religious source for rulings related to prayer while traveling.
