I was running IOS 14.7.1 and didn't see the spatial audio setting. I updated to the iOS beta 15.6 and can access the settings now to enable it.

I did do a full backup of my iPhone 8 to iCloud and my PC before updating to Beta. Works great! Love my Airpod Max even more now.

I don’t find the follow my iPhone setting any more, but this could be me and not the fact that it isn’t there anymore. This predates special audio. I turned this off because as I’m wondering around the house, I don’t need the audio to appear as if it’s coming from my iPhone, since I’m not actually looking at the video on my phone. I’d assume you would not need to turn this on to work with special audio, but you could test it to make sure.

Nice! Does anyone know which movies or TV shows on Netflix has this spatial audio track available? Wish to test this out on my Airpods Max.

There is also a confusing setting on my iPhone called "Follow iPhone." It's located in Settings/Accessibility/Airpods. Not sure if this needs to be toggled off or on to enable the Spatial audio feature.

    *Netflix now rolling out Spatial Audio support on iPhone and iPad*

    9to5Mac  /  Chance Miller



    Netflix has confirmed that it is now rolling out Spatial Audio
    support to its iPhone and iPad applications. This enables an
    immersive experience using directional audio filters, and it has
    been a long time coming to Netflix users.

    A Netflix spokesperson has confirmed to /9to5Mac /that the company
    has started rolling out Spatial Audio support on iPhone and iPad
    on iOS 14. The news was first reported by users on Reddit

    The toggle for managing Spatial Audio is located in the Control
    Center. The spatial audio feature is exclusive to AirPods Pro and
    AirPods Max.

    Apple says that spatial audio is an immersive experience using
    directional audio filters to “play sounds virtually anywhere in
    space, creating an immersive sound experience.” This will put
    surround channels exactly in the right spot, even as you turn your
    head or move your device.

    Here’s how Apple describes the spatial audio feature for AirPods
    Pro and AirPods Max users:

        Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking brings the movie
        theater experience right to your AirPods Pro. By applying
        directional audio filters and subtly adjusting the frequencies
        each ear receives, spatial audio can place sounds virtually
        anywhere in space, creating an immersive surround sound
        experience. Using the gyroscope and accelerometer in your
        AirPods Pro and your iPhone, spatial audio tracks the motion
        of your head as well as your device, compares the motion data,
        and then remaps the sound field so that it stays anchored to
        your device even as your head moves.

    iOS 15 takes Spatial Audio to the next level with a new Spatialize
    Stereo option

    which simulates the Spatial Audio experience for non-Dolby Atmos
    content. This allows AirPods Pro and AirPods Max users to listen
    to pretty much any song or video.
