Hey, why is it that when I click on the personalized spatial audio it does not show the personalize spatial audio button that I need to press for it to do so?

You don't tell us what devices you own, so please verify your devices qualify per the following from the related article link at the top of this page:


What you need

To set up Personalized Spatial Audio, you need an iPhone with iOS 16 and the TrueDepth camera.

After you sign in with your Apple ID, you can use Personalized Spatial Audio on these devices:

  • AirPods Pro (1st or 2nd generation), AirPods Max, AirPods (3rd generation), Beats Fit Pro, or Beats Studio Pro
  • Audiovisual content from a supported app
  • An iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 16 or later; an iPad with iPadOS 16.1 or later; an Apple Watch with watchOS 9 or later; an Apple TV with tvOS 16 or later; or a Mac computer with Apple silicon and macOS Ventura


Note: If for example you own iPhone SE or iPhone 8, even if updated to iOS 16, you can't use Personalized Spatial Audio, because an iPhone SE or iPhone 8 don't have a TrueDepth camera.
