How to get rid of setup cards in settings for iOS app?

How do you get rid of the stinking setup cards in settings for the iOS Sonos app?  These pop up every time I open the Sonos app, and it doesn’t matter how many times I tap the “X” to close all of them.  I don’t have surrounds to connect in the three rooms it keeps popping up for, I don’t want to add a voice assistant, I don’t want to try Sonos Radio HD, etc…  I close them all, then they all pop up again the next time I go into settings.  What gives?  I looked through all the settings and couldn’t find anything about turning off these suggestions for things I don’t have or don’t want to try.

    I could have sworn the last few times I closed one, it said something along the lines of ‘stop seeing this pop up for 24 hours’ or something like that? Not able to open a controller and test at the moment.

    We still can’t save speaker groupings, and people have been asking for that feature for YEARS. 

    Au contraire.

      I stand corrected! Thanks for letting me know. 
       

      Now if they could add scene support that’s been requested for years as well, it would be nice to not have to use a lighting app to run a scene for Sonos.

      I am sure we could all add lots of features we would like to see.  A small proportion of them may even be the same.  Development resource is limited. Many user suggestions are ‘niche’ to put it mildly, some ideas are downright impractical and stupid.  Not even the good ones are necessarily cost-effective.  You are welcome to your view that Sonos doesn’t listen to its customers.  I think it listens, but (mostly correctly) often says ‘nah’.

        If you do a search in the Sonos forums for “scene”, “scenes”, “groups”, or “presets” you’ll see many, many threads where Sonos gives non-answers or doesn’t answer at all, and many of these threads are years old.  

        I’m not saying Sonos has to do everything that every customer suggests.  But when one has to use a lighting app (that Sonos had to partner with to open their API!) to group speakers, set the volume, and start playing a specific playlist/station/song, that seems rather...odd, to say the least.  At best, Sonos is being “efficient” and offloading the programming of audio functionality to its audio products to a third-party lighting company, and at worst, Sonos is just plain lazy.
