Online gyroscope test — test your phone roll, pitch & yaw for free

What is a gyroscope test?

A gyroscope test is a diagnostic tool that uses your device's built-in gyroscope sensor to measure orientation and rotation around three axes: roll (Y axis), pitch (X axis), and yaw (Z axis). This online gyroscope tester reads your phone's gyroscope data in real time and displays it as both numeric measurements and a 3D visual model that rotates with your phone. The gyroscope in your phone detects rotational movement — how your phone turns around itself while its center stays roughly in place. Unlike the accelerometer (which measures linear movement in space), the gyroscope specifically measures angular velocity and orientation. A gyroscope test is useful for verifying your phone's motion sensors are working correctly, diagnosing orientation issues in games and VR apps, or testing sensor accuracy for app development.

Online gyroscope tester — gyroscope test features

A complete browser-based gyroscope test with real-time pitch, roll, and yaw measurements, 3D phone visualization, and support for all Android devices and iPhone gyroscope diagnostics.

1. Real-time roll, pitch & yaw measurements: See your phone's exact orientation on all three axes updated in real time. Roll (Y axis) shows left/right tilt, pitch (X axis) shows forward/backward tilt, and yaw (Z axis) shows compass-like rotation. Measurements display in degrees with live directional indicators.
2. 3D phone visualization: A 3D rendered phone model rotates in sync with your physical device, providing instant visual feedback. Tilt your phone left, right, forward, or back — the 3D model responds in real time so you can verify your gyroscope sensor is working correctly.
3. Works on Android phones — Samsung, Pixel, OnePlus & more: This gyroscope tester works on all Android devices with a gyroscope sensor, including Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Oppo. Open this page in Chrome and tap Start Test to begin measuring orientation instantly.
4. iPhone gyroscope test with iOS permission support: iOS 13+ requires explicit user permission for gyroscope access. This tool guides you through the permission request process. Once granted, your iPhone's gyroscope data (including iPhone 16, 15, 14, and SE models) displays in real time.
5. Instant start — no app install required: No need to download or install anything. This gyroscope test runs entirely in your browser using the DeviceOrientation API. Just open this page on your phone, tap Start Test, and your gyroscope data appears instantly.
6. Directional indicators for each axis: Each measurement shows not just the angle but also a directional label — pitch shows up/down/level, roll shows left/right/level, and yaw shows the compass heading. This makes it easy to understand which way your phone is tilting at a glance.

How to test your phone gyroscope — step-by-step guide

A simple step-by-step process to check your phone's gyroscope sensor using this free online gyroscope test tool.

1. Open this page on your phone or tablet: This gyroscope test requires a device with a built-in gyroscope sensor. Desktop computers and laptops typically do not have gyroscope hardware. Open this page on your Android phone or iPhone to begin.
2. Tap Start Test and grant permissions if needed: Click the Start Test button to activate the gyroscope sensor. On iPhones, iOS will prompt you to allow Motion & Orientation access — tap Allow. On Android, access is granted automatically.
3. Move your phone and check the measurements: Tilt your phone forward/backward (pitch), left/right (roll), and rotate it flat on a surface (yaw). The measurements and 3D phone model should update in real time as you move. If the numbers remain at zero or the model does not move, check the troubleshooting tips below.

Gyroscope not working? Troubleshooting tips

Common fixes if your gyroscope test shows no response or inaccurate measurements.

1. Make sure you are on a mobile device: The gyroscope sensor is only available on phones and tablets. Desktop computers and most laptops do not have gyroscope hardware. Open this page on your Android phone or iPhone to test.
2. Check iOS permission settings: If you denied Motion & Orientation access on your iPhone, go to Settings → Safari → Motion & Orientation Access and turn it on. Then reload this page and try again. For other browsers on iOS, check the browser's settings for motion sensor permissions.
3. Try a different browser: Chrome and Safari have the best gyroscope API support. If the test does not work in your current browser, try Chrome on Android or Safari on iPhone. Some third-party browsers may have limited sensor access.
4. Restart your phone: A simple restart can resolve temporary sensor issues. If other apps that use the gyroscope (like camera apps with level indicators, VR apps, or games that use tilt controls) also do not work, restart your phone and try again.
5. Check if your phone has a gyroscope: Not all budget phones have a gyroscope sensor. Budget or older Android phones may only have an accelerometer. Apps like CPU-Z or Sensor Test can confirm whether your device has a gyroscope. Without a gyroscope, this test will not show orientation data.
6. Update your phone's operating system: Outdated system software can cause sensor driver issues. Check for and install the latest Android or iOS updates, then retest your gyroscope.
7. Calibrate your gyroscope: If the measurements seem off or drift over time, your gyroscope may need calibration. On Android, you can calibrate the gyroscope by moving your phone in a figure-8 pattern. On iPhone, gyroscope calibration happens automatically. After calibration, restart the test.
