Feature Request: Apple Shortcuts for the Sonos App

That would require some automation like Home Assistant.

you can do this with the iOS app Soro.

Sonos has said they will offer iOS widgets in the future, no release date shared. 

Hello Sonos Development Team

• Feature request submitted: May 19, 2026
• Feature released via update: June 9, 2026

That was fast! Fantastic! Thank you so much!!!

Not only for the update and the features, but also for listening to the Sonos community and implementing the Apple Shortcuts integration so quickly – I'm thrilled – keep it up!

KEY INFORMATION

• 86.00.35 (Android)
• 86.00.41 (iOS)

In this update

• Added support for iOS Shortcuts with the following commands:
  • Play content
  • Create group
  • Ungroup
  • Play/Pause
  • Mute
  • Adjust volume

How can these be used in a creative way?  Not got into iOS shortcut creation but think this may offer some potential.

You can use them as widgets, so no need to unlock the iPhone screen to give the system certain commands.

For example, using a widget or Apple Shortcuts in a scene template (lock/home screen, etc.): Control multiple functions with a single tap (lights, music, door lock, etc.).

Or, like NFC tags: when the smartphone scans a tag, playback can be started/stopped, or a specific song/playlist can be played.

This is incredibly practical for everyday tasks, allowing recurring processes to be automated or simplified.

Get some cheap sticky label NFC tags (I use NFC215).

Play Favourites using NFC

Create some Sonos iOS shortcuts for your Sonos Favourites (currently ‘Play Content’ seems to only play favourites, would be nice to play a url directly, eg Apple Music ​@Corry P  - feature request?) create group and volume level.

Setup an Automation in iOS Shortcuts when it reads the serial # of the NFC tag, it plays the favourite.

Tap you phone next to NFC tag will group, set volume and play the favourite.

Ok, thanks, going to do some experimentation,

If the Sonos app were expanded to include a "Scenes" section where grouping, volume, music selection, sleep timer, etc., could be configured, and these settings could be accessed manually via button press, widget, or Apple Shortcuts — wow, just imagine the possibilities! I'm already looking forward to it!

I would like to see a command for Turn ON/OFF Shuffle-Repeat-Crossfade.  At this point I have to use Soro for those commands.

EDIT:  Apologize for the duplicate request.  When I created the topic for the feature request I got the message that it was a “Dulicate….” so I did tot think it would get posted.
