I own an iPhone XR and AirPods Pro’s. I used to be able to use spatial audio before but after an iOS update on my phone I was unable to use spatial audio. The spatial audio option doesn’t show up on anywhere in setting or in the control centre. Does anyone have any fixes?
iPhone XR, iOS 14
If you don't have the current firmware, you don't have spatial audio.
Plug your case into the charger.
Connect your iphone to wifi.
Connect to your iphone, listen to something for over a minute.
Put your Airpods into the case near your iphone.
Go get some coffee, walk around the block or whatever for awhile. Something like 30 minutes.
Remove the Airpods, connect to the phone and check your firmware version.

What is the Version? For Spatial Audio, the version should be 3A283. Does Spatial Audio show up as an option on that screen?

Sandra,
The Spatial Audio options can be viewed while the AirPods Pro are connected to your iPhone. Once connected then open Settings ➔ Bluetooth ➔ Locate the AirPods Pro in the list and tap on (i) in the blue circle to the right : You should now see Spatial Audio options.

Also the firmware version is an old one and that might be the problem, do you have any tips to update them?
JB,
You forgot to add PRAYER to the strategy of updating the AirPods Pro firmware. I have done this a few times and sometimes it took several walks around the block. Ha!

Please post the FULL screenshot of the image that you posted. Need to see the very top and very bottom of the picture.

The version on my AirPods shows as A2084. I also just swapped them since they were having sound problems so they are as new as they could get. Also there still is no option to change spatial audio.
