Apple launched iOS 14.7 with lossless and spatial audio experiences for millions of users in India. With the new update, users will be able to listen to all 75 million songs in Apple Music in lossless audio quality and thousands of songs with spatial audio with Dolby Atmos without paying anything extra.

Users will have to go to the music tab in their settings to switch on Dolby Atmos and choose the network configurations to stream these files. On Apple Music, they will be able to see clear tags for Lossless and Spatial audio along with the album part.

The good news is that Apple Music users on Android will also get these features very soon.

It is important to note that if the network is not good enough to stream lossless audio, it will switch down to the best possible quality but that will also be communicated to the listener. And if you are someone who is not really bothered about data, then choose always on with Dolby Atmos in the music settings.

AirPods Pro and AirPods Max support automatic play with spatial audio.

Other supported devices are AirPods, BeatsX, Beats Solo3 Wireless, Beats Studio3, Powerbeats3 Wireless, Beats Flex, Powerbeats Pro, or Beats Solo Pro, built-in speakers on an iPhone XR or later (except iPhone SE), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation or later), iPad Pro 11-inch, iPad (6th generation or later), iPad Air (3rd generation or later), or iPad mini (5th generation).

If you want to use other headphones that don’t support automatic playback, make sure to choose Always On.
For the unversed, lossless audio files are those that preserve all the original data when the song was recorded and are usually lost when it is compressed. Hence lossless files consume much more data when streamed and also use up more space on devices.
