Abstract
Provided is a communication apparatus including a determination unit that determines a direction in which the communication apparatus faces, a measurement unit that measures signal strength indicating strength of a radio wave received by the communication apparatus, a notification unit that notifies a user of the signal strength falling below a first threshold, and a display unit that superimposes a direction in which the signal strength exceeds a second threshold, as first display, on second display being displayed. This configuration makes it possible to guide the user to turn in a direction in which high signal strength is received, without hindering UX of the user of the communication apparatus using a high frequency band as much as possible.
