Does spacial audio work with iPhone SE (3rd Gen.)

Family member purchased the new AirPods Pro. Was attempting to set up special audio for them. However does not bring me through the steps to do so. It says it works iPhone 7 and late, but not with the most recent SE? Can anyone confirm this for me?

Apple Watch Series 6

Hi justin_amez,


Which app are you trying to use Spatial Audio with?


You can enable Spatial Audio through control center:

Turn on spatial audio on your iPhone or iPad
1. Make sure that you're wearing your AirPods Pro (1st or 2nd generation), AirPods Max, AirPods (3rd generation), or Beats Fit Pro, and that they're connected to your iPhone or iPad.
2. Open Control Center on your iPhone or on your iPad.
3. Touch and hold the volume control to turn on spatial audio while you're playing multichannel content or Spatialize Stereo while you're playing two-channel stereo content. This also shows you the status icons.
4. When you turn on spatial audio with head tracking, audio adjusts based on your head movement. To turn on spatial audio and dynamic head tracking, tap Head Tracked. To turn on spatial audio only, tap Fixed. To turn off spatial audio and dynamic head tracking, tap Off.

Listen with spatial audio for AirPods and Beats
