On this weeks iOS (April 26)  update the A-Z listing down the left hand side of the screen  for “Songs” has disappeared (from Local Library)

It’s still there for Artists and Albums

The latest update has fixed the A-Z scroll bar not showing on the Songs section of the local Music Library.

A little annoyingly, todays updates didn't fix this or not being able to play local library imported playlists via the iOS app (an unwanted present from the update a month or two ago).

    Hi ​@ainsley002 

    Today’s update was likely compiled and ready for release before the issue reported here was even raised.

      Fair comment😊. The issue with imported playlists is a longer term thing, however, that 2nd line support are aware of

      Hopefully your beta testing will resume soon to pick up issues before release.

      Hi ​@MoPac & ​@Mangoe 

      My colleague was unable to reproduce the issue reported here and is still awaiting further diagnostic reports to be submitted. If you’d like this issue to be investigated, please follow my earlier steps:

      Could you all please report your iOS device model and iOS versions here, as well as submitting a diagnostic report from the same device? Thanks. Please do not share the given number here, but please say here when you have completed the process and I’ll be able to find it (assuming you use the same account here as on your Sonos devices).

      Thanks!

        Just in case anyone was getting excited, todays update (12.5.26) doesn't address either of these issues 😒

          Hi ​@ainsley002 

          I’m afraid that is because when I asked for diagnostics from anyone affected here on the thread, you were the only one to respond. We were unable to replicate the issue ourselves, so we were relying upon getting diagnostics from those who could.

          As this thread is the only thread that I know of in relation to this issue, and as there are only 3 people reporting the issue in total, it seems rather likely that the issue may be local in nature. Please try a restart of your iPhone, if you have not done so already in the intervening time.

          I hope this helps.

            Screen size varies from model to model. I wonder if the issue is related to screen width.

              I’m confused about this report. The A-Z index appears on the right side of the screen for the Artist and Album listings. Not on the left side. But I also do not have an index on the Songs listing. I’ve never looked at the Songs listing before, so couldn’t say if it ever did.

              This is on an iPad and iPhone 15 Pro Max  iOS 26.5, Sonos ver 85.00.31. So maybe not based on the size of the screen. Possibly the size of the library? 

              The index scroller arrows do appear on the Songs listing on the Android controller ver 85.00.31. (On the right hand side of the screen).
