Apple Music Lossless Audio streaming, Spatial Audio, along with Dolby Atmos will finally be available to all its subscribers in India using the app on iOS, Android, and desktop. The high-quality audio formats for Apple Music were announced globally last week. But these new features are yet to arrive on the Apple Music app in India. Apple is making these audio formats available free of cost to Apple Music subscribers. And as per a report, the features have now been rolled out to Apple Music for Android beta.

The new audio formats for Apple Music — Spatial Audio, Dolby Atmos, and Lossless Audio streaming — are expected to arrive for Indian customers soon. The Apple Music India website mentions that the features will be "coming soon" to India. Apple, however, has not committed to a release date yet.

Ever since the new features were announced last week, many users claim to have seen the support for them come and go on the Apple Music app. A user (@varunkrish) tweeted that they lost access to the new formats on Apple Music after it appeared initially. User (@kashyap_DL) said that they were able to view the Spatial Audio feature on the app, while another user (@Shaileshhari03) tweeted they were able to access Lossless Audio and Dolby Atmos on the app.

Looking at how some users were able to view while some weren't, it can be speculated that the new audio formats will arrive sooner than later for Apple Music subscribers in India.

Apple Music subscribers on Android will also be able to experience Dolby Atmos, Spatial Audio, and Lossless Audio streaming. The features, as reported by 9to5Google, have already arrived on Apple Music Beta 3.6.0 Beta. Users who want to use the new features would need to sign up to the beta channel on the Google Play store.

Additionally, Android users would be able to access Lossless audio — as 'Lossless' and 'High Res Lossless' — in addition to the high-quality and low-data usage audio options. 'High Res Lossless' will stream audio at up to 24-bit/ 192kHz, while the standard 'Lossless' format will stream audio at 24-bit/ 48kHz, using Apple's ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) codec instead of the AAC codec.
