I should have said I have cleared cache and deleted  and reinstalled the app, rebooted the phone etc. all to no avail.

New features are released in rolling updates so you may not receive the new feature until a while after the app is updated.

There is a while and a 'while', well over a month now and I have not seen this 'feature' either... and we are coming up to another release being due. Why announce something that is not activated?

I would call Sonos Support to discuss it.

When you speak directly to the Support staff, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.

It’s meant to let them pause the rollout if they spot problems with the release.
 

Unless, of course, this is their subtle way of introducing a subscription model for new features, just kidding!
