Spatial Audio Head Tracking Bug on AirPods

Every time I connect my AirPods Spatial Audio Head Tracking is on even when the toggle is off. I'm have the "Follow iPhone" toggled off in the AirPod settings menu for Spatial Audio Head Tracking, but I have to toggle it on then off again for it to stop tracking head movement. Super annoying. Any fixes to this bug?


I'm using AirPods 3. Gen on iOS 16.4.


Cheers,


Frank

Hi FrankWonderboy,


As you indicate that you're using a beta version of iOS software, provide feedback as part of the testing. Per Apple Beta Software Program:


"How do I provide my feedback to Apple?

The iOS, iPadOS and macOS public betas come with the built-in Feedback Assistant app, which can be opened from the Home screen on your iPhone or iPad or from the Dock on your Mac. The Feedback Assistant app is also available from the help menu of any app by selecting Send Feedback. If you’re running the tvOS, HomePod software or watchOS public beta, you can submit feedback through the Feedback Assistant app on an enrolled iPhone, iPad or Mac. When you experience an issue or something does not work as expected, send your feedback directly to Apple with Feedback Assistant."


Regards.

Is there a way to submit feedback if we are not a part of the beta program?


I'm having the same issue, but only for certain apps. I can't figure out how to appropriately let Apple know. I thought it was specific to a certain app, but now I've found other instances where it isn't. I can't figure out how to let Apple know. So far, all that I've seen has told me to reach out to Apple Support, but that doesn't seem to coincide with reporting software bugs.
