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?

    I get the option to "share the track" and then get presented with different media to share it with i.e. Facebook, twitter, email etc. but when I select Facebook it doesn't enter any text of the track I am listening to. If I select any other social media, it does enter the text of the track I am listening to.

    This used to work. Anyone any ideas?

    Any update on this feature working yet? 10 months ago Ryan S commented on this. It doesn't work for me, just generates a blank Facebook post. Surely a piece of album art, artist, track, album info and link to sonos website isn't too much to ask???

    The sharing function has disappeared from my app on iPhone now. Any update, anyone?

    Apologies if this is answered elsewhere and/or no longer relevant but the share function is still available on my iPhone - but you have to scroll down to the bottom of the list to be able to access it. If i share a track to Facebook direct from the Sonos app then all i get is the "nowplaying" blank post (previously mentioned). But my Spotify account is linked to my Sonos and Facebook accounts and if i share from Spotify, then Facebook posts are populated with the track name and album art.

    Any update on this? The last helpful response from Sonos was a year ago.

    I also just get an empty Facebook entry just with the #nowplaying hashtag. It works when I share with Mail or Messages.

    Hi everyone,

    I have a solution to this issue. I use HootSuite to aggregate and push my articles, ect to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN, and Flipboard, among other sources.

    If you use HootSuite when you share a song from Sonos, this is what you get on Facebook.
