When I watch a video in an app (tested in the Twitter app), the audio has virtual positioning that tracks my head movement. I have disabled spatialize stereo, and disabled head tracking in accessibility, but the tracking remains.
iOS 16.3.1
AirPods Max Firmware 5B59
Twitter App 9.45
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
Hello boskono,

Take care.
Reddit app was where I noticed it. After that, I contacted Apple Support, who told me to reach out to the app. So I did. However, I was able to also duplicate the issue with the iMovie app. From what I can tell, it's apps that don't play in the background (and thus don't show in the control center) and will also play with head tracking if it's enabled properly (as in, the Facebook app didn't display the bug, but the Facebook app also did not track head even when it was enabled intentionally through settings.)
Hello,
I have contacted Apple Support with this issue, but they are unable to help. They have had me reset settings on everything, and reach out to app developers. However, it is also occurring with apps produced by Apple. How can we let Apple know about a software bug with the OS/airpods software?
For me the only app that I’ve noticed this happens in is Twitter. What other apps does this happen in for you?
iOS audio is always head tracked with AirPods Max
