No Dolby Atmos On Disney+ For iPhone

I've been using Disney Plus on my iPhone 11 to stream shows such as The Mandalorian, and one thing I've noticed is that on my Apple TV it supports Dolby Atmos sound quality, while on iPhone is only 5.1 "MultiChannel." Can someone explain why this is and if there is a way to get Dolby Atmos sound quality on iphone, mac, etc? Thank you!

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi Unspeaky,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you have some questions about Dolby Atmos availability. If audio supports Dolby Atmos, you can use these steps to enable that on a compatible iPhone:

1. Update your iPhone or iPad to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Tap Music.
4. Under Audio, tap Dolby Atmos. 
5. Choose Automatic, Always On, or Off.

You can see more about that and how to use it on a Mac here: About Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos in Apple Music - Apple Support


Thanks.
