Below are today's prayer times for Istanbul, calculated from the sun's position at the city's coordinates using the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı convention, which is the one commonly followed locally. Times shift by a minute or two each day. The Qibla from Istanbul is 151.6° from true north, and the Kaaba is 2,405 km away.

Qibla direction from Istanbul
151.6° from true north — not magnetic north. A phone compass points at magnetic north, so the raw reading needs correcting before you face it. Tariq applies that correction for you.
How these times are calculated
Fajr and Isha depend on how far below the horizon the sun is taken to be, and authorities set that angle differently — which is why two apps can differ by fifteen minutes for the same city. This page uses Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı (18° for Fajr), the convention commonly followed in Türkiye. If your mosque publishes its own timetable, follow that: mosques round the times and set iqamah a fixed interval after the adhan.
