Sonos S2 Widget for iOS14.

I’d also love this!

However, for folk requesting interactive controls for things like volume, iOS 14 doesn’t currently allow for this, widgets can only display information, and link to particular points of the app (opening a specific task in a task manager, for example, not completing it within the widget).

Hopefully Apple will open up this level of functionality at some stage, but I would’ve get your hopes up until iOS 15 or after...

Hi @Simon B , it seems that there are no plans to implement widgets. Is this true? If yes, why?

It’s likely that the Sonos engineering team has an already extensive list of bugs and features that need to be implemented. And given that this feature would only affect a certain percentage of users, it probably drops lower on the list. Probably not off it, but probably not at the top. 

Yeah I get that, but still find the updates slow coming. S2 was too similar to S1 no real major upgrades to it. When you pay a big price for these systems I expect constant new features added and things added promptly… But hey that’s just me.

A Sonos widget would be an incredibly useful feature; would generate a ton of value for Sonos customers! Go dev team!

Please give the people a widget!!!! I would love to control the tv volume on my beam on the Lock Screen:-)

This is great but I’m slightly concerned that the Sonos engineers haven’t thought of this idea already. It’s absolutely essential as the current methods of controlling Sonos aren't user friendly at all. I’d say it’s in the top 3 of the list of wishes for my Sonos system.
