Recently my Sonos iOS App won't control my system

I currently have 2 Sonos Amps, 2 Beams and a Play One in my home and it was working just fine for years until recently, I’ve noticed I’m unable to control my system in the app. I can see each device but when I click play, it doesn’t actually start any music. I had a friend over who connected to my wifi network and was able to control it himself, no problems. I also logged in on my Windows PC and was able to control it, so it seems to just be my iPhone. I found if I unplugged the amps and plugged them back in, it seems to connect to my phone then but I’ve only tried that a couple of times otherwise I just don’t listen to music or find another device to control it.

 

My Sonos app has always been up to date, along with all of my speakers/devices.

Any suggestions??

Well, I just answered my own question after thoroughly going through my device settings. I had turned off “private wifie address” in my network settings for some reason and after I turned it back on it immediately showed the music within each device, so problem solved!
