I had a Sonos widget on my pixel 6 pro for a long time, and today it just disappeared, no longer on the widget menu either... What happened?

I just uninstalled the app from my smartphone, downloaded the March update from APK Mirror website, reinstalled and the widget went back.

You must uninstall the app before the reinstallation: the direct downgrade won't work.

Make sure to disable the automatic updates in the top right three dots menu of the app play store page.

You should do this just after the manual installation.

This has happened to me too on my Samsung S23. Just disappeared and not available on menu.

I contacted support and they say the new app - which I suspect you are unfortunate enough to have been force-updated to - does not have an Android widget. Wait until you see what else has gone...

Hi,

Same for me, I installed the update today and I’m in now in a land of confusion.

Widget is gone that for sure, and home screen seems to be stuck trying to refresh!?

App is working but appears instable.

Are we supposed to do something or seat tight and wait for the next update?

Is there a way to force restart? , the option was there before in the system section but can’t find it anymore

It is an absolute nightmare, unconsistant branding (gold or black?) Widget no longer available, Volume Control unstable and difficult UX, TuneIn old and New is pure chaos :(

Well at least I know I am not the only one that has this issue after coming here.

I rely on the widget so much when I am playing music, even though it could be much better.

I really hope they fix this or replace it quickly.

Is it gone for good, or do they intend on adding the widget?

They would not comment to me about it. Sonos aren't bothered about existing customers, only future ones...

There won't be any future ones if they carry on like this!

I did it as you instructed - old app is back, as is the widget! Thanks much!! I swear that every app that I've been forced to update recently has been significantly worse than its predecessor... Is this an industry trend?
