Apple today updated its Apple Music for Android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.android.music&hl=en_US&gl=US) to introduce support for Spatial Audio and Lossless music quality, bringing feature parity to the Android and iOS operating systems.

Spatial Audio and Lossless for Apple Music (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-music/) came to Apple devices in June, and has been available in a beta capacity (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/06/15/apple-music-android-beta-spatial-lossless-audio/) on Android since last month. From the release notes for the update:

In this update, Apple Music adds a spatial listening experience on compatible devices, with thousands of tracks in Dolby Atmos available at launch.





Other updates include:


- Lossless Audio, a new way to experience uncompromised sound, with bit-for-bit accuracy.


- Automatic Crossfade, a new way to listen that blends each song into the next for a seamless experience.


- Search enhancements to library, which allow you to more easily find your favorite music with in-line search.

In the Settings menu of the ‌Apple Music‌ app on Android, users can access an "Audio Quality" sub-menu with options to enable Lossless Audio and choose between different tiers where applicable.
