Gyroscope & Motion Test
Test your phone's gyroscope, accelerometer, and orientation sensors with live tilt and motion readouts.
Best on a phone or tablet. Enable the sensors, then tilt and move your device — the readouts and the tilt indicator respond in real time.

About this tool
This free online gyroscope and motion test checks your phone or tablet's orientation and motion sensors. Tilt your device and watch the live alpha, beta, and gamma angles, a bubble-level tilt indicator, and the accelerometer readings respond. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing is installed or uploaded.
How to use
- Open this page on a phone or tablet.
- Tap Enable motion sensors and allow access.
- Tilt and rotate the device to see the values react.
- Lay it flat to check the bubble level centers.
Common uses
Checking whether a phone's gyroscope works after a drop or repair, diagnosing games or apps that don't respond to tilt, verifying auto-rotate and motion features, or confirming the accelerometer before buying a used device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I test my phone's gyroscope?
Open this page on your phone, tap Enable motion sensors and allow access, then tilt and rotate the device. The orientation values and the tilt indicator move in real time, confirming the gyroscope and orientation sensor respond.
What do alpha, beta, and gamma mean?
They're the three orientation angles. Alpha (α) is the compass heading around the vertical axis, beta (β) is the front-to-back tilt, and gamma (γ) is the left-to-right tilt. Together they describe how your device is angled in space.
What's the difference between the gyroscope and accelerometer?
The orientation angles come largely from the gyroscope and magnetometer, while the acceleration values (x, y, z) come from the accelerometer, including gravity. This tool shows both so you can check the full motion sensor suite.
It says no sensors detected — why?
Most desktops and many laptops have no gyroscope or accelerometer, so nothing is reported. Open the page on a phone or tablet, which almost always include these sensors.
Why did it ask for permission?
On iOS 13 and later, Safari requires explicit permission to read motion and orientation for privacy. Tapping Enable triggers that prompt — choose Allow. Other browsers may grant access without a prompt.
How do I check for a faulty sensor?
Hold the device still and the values should be steady; tilt it and they should change smoothly and return when you level it. Readings that are stuck, jumpy, or don't match your movement point to a faulty or miscalibrated sensor.
Is any data uploaded?
No. The sensor readings are used only to update the display in your browser. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
