Has the same issue last week. Not sure what happened, but I had to fully close the app then reopen it to get it to refresh.

While there are some really cool things coming (spatial video, action button, etc), the only reason to recommend an upgrade this year is for Apple Intelligence features. If your phone is old and it’s just your time to upgrade, then it’s a great year for it. But if you’ve got a newer phone, don’t rush for the upgrade.

MDMs already allow business to manage security permissions for apps. I don’t see why this would be any different. If the company has an MDM, this change should have no impact on their users. If they don’t have an MDM, they really need to get one, not just for this, but a lot of other security and usability reasons.

This will really suck for users of personal devices, though.

I love spatial audio itself, but I do turn off the head tracking. Leaving spatial audio on but turning tracking off gives the pseudo “surround sound” experience without the sound changing direction on you.
