missing settings for Dolby Atmos

Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities, savan612!

We see that you're having some trouble with Dolby Atmos playback. We'll be happy to see how we can help. To get start, let's check out About spatial audio with Dolby Atmos in Apple Music and see if the information there helps. We look forward to hearing back from you.

Cheers.

Thanks for that screenshot, savan612.

If you're updated to iOS 14.6 and it's not showing, you may not be in a supported country. At this point, we'd recommend using Get Support to contact Apple and have them help you look into what's going on.

Cheers.

Same problem here. iPhone XR running 14.6. I'm in the US (15 mi from Apple HQ) and confirmed my region and timezone are correctly set. Have 1 day old iPod Pros paired to my phone and just like everyone else, I don't have the Dolby Atmos option in Settings>Music>Audio. I don't have an Apple Music subscription though. Could a lack of subscription be the reason why the Dolby Atmos option is hidden? I currently use Amazon Music's top tier for high def music. If there are demos for Spacial Audio in the Music app, why can't I enable the feature to listen to what I'm missing being at Amazon Music?

Hi SnickZ,

Is there a list somewhere on apple's site that show when it will become available per region?

Also Apple writes everywhere you can find the setting in Apple Music.. however I want to use it for all other apps including Spotify.. How can I set this up?

Hi,

I am using iPhone 12 Pro, and am too looking for a solution to this.

@SnickZ could you share what all countries are supported for this feature?

Thanks

Hi,

same issue here, can you share the list with supported countries? Does switching the country settings on the iPhone enable the option? Or is it geo-blocked?

I’ve iOS 14.6 - followed the procedures mentioned previously but there is no sign of Dolby Atmos under the Music section in Settings. Using a 12 Pro Max.

Have 14.6 on five iOS devices. As with others’ issues, none show Dolby Atmos settings under Audio in Music.

Yes I think you need a subscription to enable Dolby Atmos.

I have a atmos subscription directly at Dolby, but nowhere to put in the details
