Are there plans to get a widget for controlling the most used speakers in your home? I would love to be able to turn up and down the volume on my playbar from the home screen.

Could you Sonos folks please hurry up with this iOS widget!?
Thank you
No sign of it in 12.2 update👎

Given the engineers were given the idea only a month ago I don’t expect widget support for at least a year. Probably longer in the case as Sonos as they seem to have unusually long dev cycles for new features.
Sonos widget: Yes please!

I’d also love this!
However, for folk requesting interactive controls for things like volume, iOS 14 doesn’t currently allow for this, widgets can only display information, and link to particular points of the app (opening a specific task in a task manager, for example, not completing it within the widget).
Hopefully Apple will open up this level of functionality at some stage, but I would’ve get your hopes up until iOS 15 or after...
Interestingly, ‘Today View’ widgets prior to iOS 14 do have these interactive features. Shame...This would make for a hell of an addition to the Sonos app.
Having the possibility to switch between different EQ profiles (for example changing speakers volume balance - now it takes unlocking th device and 4 more clicks to getting there - frustrating) from the widget perspective would be very nice. I am quite shocked it’s not already implemented in the app - especially considering Sonos is not a tiny unknown company with limited engineering budget.

It’d be amazing if the Night Mode toggle could be added into the widget too please
Hoping this gets implemented in the next update, s2 not really bought anything new worth noting for me yet. +1 for this.

I fully agree please make this happen

This would indeed be a game changer! This should have been ready for iOS 14 in September. Does Sonos not pay attention to WWDC??
Apple dropped iOS 14 on devs without notice. Unprecedented. Spotify only just added a widget to their app in the last week.

It’s likely that the Sonos engineering team has an already extensive list of bugs and features that need to be implemented. And given that this feature would only affect a certain percentage of users, it probably drops lower on the list. Probably not off it, but probably not at the top.

This is great but I’m slightly concerned that the Sonos engineers haven’t thought of this idea already. It’s absolutely essential as the current methods of controlling Sonos aren't user friendly at all. I’d say it’s in the top 3 of the list of wishes for my Sonos system.

there aren’t any engineers. It’s all break/fix and they’re not fixing what’s broken.
But they are selling overpriced speakers.

+1 definitely!!
Any idea on when that could be developed? It would make use of Sonos app really useful, fun and quick!! It’s a pain to search for the app when you need to start/stop/change music…
Or their engineering staff has more important things that they are working on, rather than a feature that might affect only 50% of their user base. We don’t know for sure.
