FEATURE REQUEST: shortcut to add a sonos in the group already playing

Sometimes I start listening music from one sonos in one room and then it happens to move to another room and I want to add the sonos in that room to the flow. What I have to do is to use the app but I think it would be nice to just be able to press one of the buttons to add that sonos to the group. For example: press for 2 seconds the button play/mute to do the trick. Is it possible to add that feature? thanks a lot in advance for the feedback.

    The feature already exists. Try pressing for a little bit longer.

    Also note that you can move play from room A to room B by:
    - pressing play/mute in A to stop play
    - long-pressing play/mute in B to take over from A

    The press-to-group/ungroup feature only arrived fairly recently, in v8.0.
