Howdy y’all! We have a new Sonos App update out today and it’s a really big one: Android widgets, rearranging your list of music services, portable surrounds(!), and so much more. A more complete list is below and the full list of changes can be found in our App release notes and Player release notes.
This update is rolling out in phases, so it may take up to two weeks to reach your device. No action is needed - it will install automatically once it's available to you (if Automatic Updates are enabled).
iOS users: You can check availability early by opening the App Store, tapping your account icon, and pulling down to refresh. If it's not there yet, that means the update hasn't reached your device in the rollout. It's on the way.
