Hello... I used to be able to "Share This Track" from the Sonos App to Facebook via activities. I can no longer use this feature in the Sonos App. Is there a way to get it back?

      Is it possible that this might've been a feature of the specific music service that you're using, and they removed the feature from Sonos? Where specifically did this option appear?

      What music service are you using? Are you running the controller on an Android or iOS device?

      Thank you both for the replies. Yes. The share this track feature is still there. However, and apologies for not being clearer, the option to share this track is no longer an option from my iPad, iPhone or MacBook Pro. I was wondering how to get this feature back into activities so I can share what I'm listening to on Facebook.

      Paul,

      i tried to replicate this and indeed Facebook doesn't show up under activities. As other apps show up i would conclude that this is dues to interface properties or signing on the Sonos app.

      Ok. Thanks, Bernhardt.
      Its just a guess from my side. Maybe the @Sonos team can verify this, please?

      Also @mikev. I checked the application for this -- it's spotify -- and they still have this feature.

      Looks like we were able to narrow this down pretty succinctly. There has been a change in the way Facebook messages are posted through apps which caused the "Share This Track" to stop working for Facebook. They no longer accept text only messages from applications. The Sonos Controller would post what was playing, the name and a little basic information, but no picture. We're looking into this currently, but don't have a timeline for if or when we'll be able to change the post on our end to include a picture with the message.
