I don’t want Sonos radio taking up screen space as I don’t use it and have access to plenty of music that I do want. So how do I remove it from view?

You can Unpin the Sonos Radio collections from the App Home Screen.

For example for Sonos Radio Trending Now:

Tap the Arrow (>) to the right
Tap the three dots (...) in upper right
Tap Unpin from home screen
Go back to home screen
Stop the app (on iPhone it’s a swipe up from the bottom)
Restart the app

To place them back:

Tap Sonos Radio icon on Home Screen
Find the group you want to place back on home screen
Tap the Arrow (>)
Tap three (...) dots
Tap Pin to Home Screen

Removal is broken for now but you can likely Edit your screen to bury it at the bottom.

Mine keep coming back. Yes I restarted the app (iPhone).

Absolutely hate that I have no control over what I see on the home page. Recently switched to Mac from Windows as MS started playing these stupid games.

With the latest updates mine are gone and staying gone, verify all devices and apps are fully updated in your system.

If they are and it comes back submit a diagnostic and call Sonos support to get them looking for the problem.

Thanks. Will check everything - it’s possible an app somewhere is out of date but all the speakers are up to date. Cheers

All still good today - Home Screen as I want it. Fingers crossed.

I want the entire Sonos radio service removed from my home screen!. Please stop shoving this stuff down our throat. We realize you're desperate but for money but this is not the way to do it. You are alienating your core customer base.

Also, whether you have fixed the app or not. It's a horrible piece of junk. It has lost all of its intuitiveness. You used to be able to do it blindfold. I've had Sonos since day one with the zp100. I've seen the changes. This new version of this app absolutely sucks. I know my way around an app but this thing frustrates the hell out of me. It's an absolute embarrassment when I try to help somebody operate their system. This is why I am no longer a dealer!

While I don not completely agree with the design choices made in the new S2 app (showing a “1” with a room when “zero” other speakers are grouped for example) I’ve gotten used to it now. I had hoped for more personalisation in the app though, not only being able to set one preferred music service as the first, but maybe being able to configure my personal order, which would indeed not put Sonos Radio at the front. I am not as bothered about this as you seem to be though.
