Save Queue to a Sonos Playlist (Again)

So the latest App release for IOS (81.00.52) says that it now includes re-intstatement of the much requested ‘save your queue as a playlist’.

However, having updated both App and Sonos system I am still none the wiser as to how this can be achieved.  I tried tapping on the ‘queue’ icon at the bottom left of the now playing screen.  This displays the queue, but no new controls have been added to the queue screen (still just shuffle, repeat, and clear).

Anyone have any ideas how the queue can be saved?

Is it buried away in some other sub-menu somewhere?

For the past year, features have been enabled/unlocked in stages around a fortnight period in order to catch any bugs that might have escaped them during beta testings.

​@RavingDave, Uninstall the Sonos app, reboot the iPhone, and re-install the Sonos app from the App Store.

Tried that already.  Made no difference

I get exactly the same, I thought great Sonos have finally fixed this, 2 years now since it broke. App updated, firmware updated and still can’t save queue to a playlist

I’m on IOS and experiencing the same as RavingDave. In the past when features have been released on a rolling basis I’ve always been one of the last to receive them, so no doubt it will appear in the next week or two.

Why does the App Store say it fixes it then, in bug fixes,

same old, pooor, rubbish Sonos,

bless they are trying to fix things and can’t, so they have to lie, shocking behaviour.

I just did the app update on four iOS devices and used one of them to do the firmware update. All devices are now showing system is up to date, but only two of the devices show the new save option. If I save a list on those, it does then show up on the others, so at least I can manage things that way for now. I’m hoping that over the next few days, the other 2 devices will get the new Save option as well.

It’s a bit hidden — open the queue, then tap the three-dot (⋯) menu in the top-right of the queue screen to see “Save Queue”. If you don’t see it yet, the feature is still rolling out server-side, so some accounts won’t have it immediately even on the latest app.

Hello,

 

🙋‍♂️ unfortunately I don’t have the x3 dots. As I am up to date, firmware and app. How can it then roll out, do Sonos then randomly connect to customers devices and apply fix. Sounds like the post office horizon scandal all over again. Sonos are secretly accessing our systems without our knowledge and messing around and breaking things.

 

so unimpressed with Sonos.

, do Sonos then randomly connect to customers devices and apply fix.

It’s not random, it’s on purpose to enable a feature you presumably want.

I encountered the same problem. Deleting and reinstalling the app fixed it on the devices where the feature was missing.

Thanks but this didn’t fix it for me
