Android 6.0 support

I’m sure a lot of us use old tablets to control Sonos, I use this Vizio tablet. After the recent update i’m getting a warning saying that my Android version, 6, is not supported. There is no Android update available for this tablet.

The app still works, will it stop working completely in the future?

Probably at some point, likely not soon though. Sonos has limited ability to support hardware that is unsupported by the manufacturer.

A cheap tablet or Amazon Fire will do the job or borrow a newer device if you need access to disables stuff.

Of course, I forgot, Sonos expects its customers to replace everything every 5 years :joy:

Is that the same Sonos that has kept my ZP-80s and Play 5 gen 1s working since 2006? And only now announced they will be no longer getting new features but will still be able to be used?

Not really sure how that is relevant to this topic? Move on please.

I find it quite relevant in response to this:

I will post what I like, when I like, and I could not care less what you are interested in. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the mods. They will let you know if I am breaking TOS or not.

Maybe contribute to the discussion then. Do you think Sonos should stop support of Android versions over 3 years old when other companies can manage to do so?

Not something I worry about. Do you think it is accurate to make the blanket accusation Sonos is a company that “expects its customers to replace everything every 5 years” when they are on record as supporting things three times that when possible?
