spatial audio

Hello ciprixd,

Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're not able to turn on Spatial Audio on your iPhone using your AirPods. We have a few steps that you have previously reviewed which will allow you to use the setting again. Let's follow those steps below.

Listen with spatial audio for AirPods and Beats - Apple Support

"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."

If these steps don't help, try resetting your AirPods and set them up again. Here is how: How to reset your AirPods and AirPods Pro - Apple Support

We hope this helps.
