controlling volume in Sonos app

Hey, I’m not sure when this update passed, but in the last two weeks the circle at the end of the sound  that you would grab is gone. Now it’s a thin line that seems extremely hard to grab. I almost never am able to change the volume on the first or second try.

Tap the volume bar first. The + and - appear. Either tap these or drag the line up and down.

What controller are you using?

I'm on android and putting my finger anywhere on the volume bar allows me to change it.

Tapping allows single digit changes if you want that.

Do you happen to have automatic updates enabled in the app settings?

I never auto update anything… just incase something is broken with the update, I can read about it before clicking the update button.
