Is there a way to turn off spatial audio head tracking in the Music app?
In iOS 14, Music's Atmos played in a fixed position, but in iOS 15, Atmos now uses head tracking. Is there a way to turn the head tracking off?

Go to Accessibility>AirPods>scroll down to the bottom and under spatial audio head tracking set to video content. By default iOS 15 should it have set to audio & video content. And that should do it!

Hi gansan,
We see that you came to us from the article: Listen with spatial audio for AirPods Pro and AirPods Max and that you want to turn off spatial audio. Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Find your AirPods Pro or AirPods Max in the list (for example, "John's AirPods"). Tap the Info button next to your AirPods. Turn off Spatial Audio.
Hope this helps.
Hi Nicholas,
I was actually hoping for a way to keep spatial audio on while turning off head tracking only.
Not possible unfortunately.
Thank you, it worked!
