An iOS device is only required for Trueplay tuning.
You can use Android (8.0 and higher) and Fire OS (7 and higher) to set up the Sonos Arc.

How sad is this advice from Sonos,
Borrow an iOS device for an hour or so and Trueplay your system. All settings will still apply, and are able to be switched on and off, when controlled via Android.
What? So when I move the speaker to another room or lose power I have to borrow an iOS device, aka Iphone. Why not make a remote for ALL users?

Trueplay settings are not lost when you lose power.
Don’t need a phone, there are a bunch of Apple devices that will work. See the FAQ list.
I picked up something cheap off ebay since I don’t have an easy to borrow device available.
