Netflix is finally adding support for Apple’s spatial audio feature on iPhone and iPad, the streaming giant said to 9to5Mac on Wednesday.

A Netflix spokesperson confirmed to The Verge that the company is rolling out support for the immersive surround sound feature now.

The spokesperson said the rollout begins Wednesday and that users should expect to see it over the next few days.

Interestingly, you may have it already, as some users on Reddit are reporting that it’s working for them.

Apple’s spatial audio, which you can only take advantage of with the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max on an iPhone or iPad, is designed to make you feel more immersed in what you’re listening to with an impressive surround sound effect.

Therefore, if you want to give spatial audio a shot and don’t have it on Netflix yet, you can try it out on other services like Apple TV Plus, Disney Plus, or HBO Max.

In the future, Apple is planning to add spatial audio to macOS and tvOS.
