With iOS and iPadOS 14, Apple donated the AirPods Spatial Audio, a 3D sound function. This is now also supported by the Netflix app.
But let's first clarify how Spatial Audio works exactly. When AirPods Pro or AirPods Max are connected to an iPhone or iPad, an option to activate the feature appears in the volume control menu. After that, it sounds like the content is bombarding you from all sides. However, there is not yet as much compatible music, film and series content as you might wish.
At the beginning, the whole thing only dominated the Apple TV app, recently also Apple Music. With iOS and iPadOS 15 Spatial Audio is also to be improved in such a way that other content can also be enjoyed automatically with 3D sound.
Netflix with Spatial Audio: Update is already being rolled out
The streaming provider has now confirmed that an update with support for Spatial Audio is already on the way. If this does not install automatically, it is advisable to try a manual installation of the update. Otherwise, patience is required, because the update will be rolled out quite slowly.
