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.
