How do I turn on spatial audio for Beats Studio Buds

The option to turn on spatial audio is not visible in my volume menu like Noise Cancelling/transparancey is. I know the earbuds are supported by spatial audio(per beats website) but there is no option I can find to turn it on. I am using an iPhone 13 mini with iOS 16.
