Spacial Scene Button Not Showing on iPad 10th

Just updated my iPad to iOS 26 and was trying to get the new feature running. However, the spatial scene generation button does not appear on either the photo gallery or wallpaper customization screen. I've tried various solutions I managed to find online, including turning off "Reduce Motion" and reselecting the wallpaper, but to no avail. I also checked the settings and the spatial scene is turned on which means it should be working. Does my device even support this feature?
