System not showing in Spotify Devices

My Spotify app doesn’t allow me to connect to my Sonos system. 
All I get is the “Connect to a device” screen.
My Spotify account is connected to Sonos. 
My system is connected to the same WiFi as my phone.

 

Any ideas?

      No iOS devices can find Sonos from the Spotify app.

      Can you use Spotify through the Sonos app on those devices? I'm not saying you should do so, just to help troubleshoot.

      Yeah, if I go into Sonos and search Spotify comes up and plays no problem.

      That tells me plenty of things it's not! Which is useful. Have you tried just power cycling Sonos devices and phone?

      Yeah, the whole system has been on and off and the phones also.

      No extenders. The router is a service provider supplied one. No particular brand. I’ve had it for a few years and it has worked previously

      It's hard to think of a reason why Spotify couldn't play that wouldn't also affect Spotify on Sonos. I assume you can play Spotify on the phone?

      Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Spotify app? Could a router firewall be blocking Spotify?

      I’ll try reinstalling the app but like I said, it’s happening on more than 1 handset. I certainly haven’t added any exclusions to the router
