The New Sonos App and Future Feature Updates

Hey all, today we're sharing a message from our chief innovation officer, Nick Millington in the announcement here. Going forwards we will update that topic and we therefore close this one for further replies.

 



 

We set out to create a more personalized and effortless listening experience with the updated Sonos app. It was rebuilt from the ground up to ensure it could support future innovation in the years to come. For its initial rollout, we focused on how we could answer some of the most common requests from our customers, including increased reliability, performance, and faster access to music.


Many of you have shared valuable feedback on both the improvements that have made your experience better, as well as the areas where we fell short. We are listening to all of your comments and working to address them as quickly as possible. Over the coming weeks, we will reintroduce the below features, while fixing bugs and performance issues. Thank you for your engagement and we look forward to building upon this first step to create a listening experience that meets everyone’s needs.

When will you be adding back our playlists?

I’ve been adding to my playlist for years and now it’s gone.

 

For now, you can access them with the Sonos app for Windows or Mac. They’ve not been taken away.

Oh ok.  Well, either one could be correct, I guess.  The Twitter / X post is the  ‘official’ word from Sonos, so I wouldn’t rule out an update tomorrow just yet.
