Spatial Audio, based on Dolby Atmos, won't be crossing over to Apple Music's Android app; at least that's what MySmartPrice reported. It offers a more immersive experience with improvements to the standard 5.1 and 7.1 channel setups by adding extra channels to make it seem like the sound is coming from overhead. It's Apple's way of bringing a similar immersive three-dimensional audio experience to those using Apple hardware.

MySmartPrice said it got confirmation from Apple India about the sound tech not crossing over to Android, but it isn't clear right now why it wouldn't be available. MacRumors speculated it might be because Apple doesn't have control over third-party headphones and Android devices to implement the technology. The good news is Apple Music's Lossless audio streaming will be coming to Android.
