Part of the confusion might be that it's pointing in the direction the phone is facing. Which is kind of obvious, but notably doesn't work if you put your phone in an upright phone holder, as many people do in their car.

> pointing in the direction the phone is facing

Do you mean where the top edge of the phone is directed towards when I hold the phone so that its display is pointing towards the sky?

Or where the backside of the phone is directed at if I hold it upright in front of my face?
