Hi I've read several sites that mention a spatial audio toggle in Control Center in iOS where you long press on the volume slider and a toggle comes up to enable or disable spatial audio

However, I don't see it either when playing music from my iPhone 12 mini's speaker running iOS 14.6 or when my non-Apple bluetooth headphones are paired with my iPhone nor when I'm AirPlaying to my HomePod mini

Is this toggle only available when paired to an Apple or Beats-branded headphone?

Thanks

that's correct, it only shows up with an Apple Branded/beats headphone. If you have airpods pro/max you will see it pop up but if you use other brands spatial/active noise cancelation extra menu doesn't pop up.

Okay, that's good to know but I'm bummed to confirm that!

Thanks for the clarification
