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.

Aside form the Sonos Staff post here with proposed dates all you can do is look for new Staff posts or announcements via e-mail.

@micdalco - Genius. I have my widget back, and the sleep timer! Thank you very much for sharing this.

Hello all. I am trying to figure out which version of the APK to download. There are two options with different architectures. The instructions say to download another app to see my system specs, but it is not available for phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 that I bought in the US.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

After that, I’ll have to find a YouTube video on installing an APK.

Thanks!

You need this one : sonos2_16.1-780151031.apk

You don't need a video uninstall the actual update

And click on the APK you just download , this is it

Also.... Once you've reinstalled the v16.1 previous app.... If you haven't already, go to Settings > App Preferences > Product Setup, and make sure Allow Pop-up Messages is turned off. Otherwise it'll bother you with update alerts to the new rubbish v80 app which you don't want! :)

And don't forget to block AUTO UPDATE on Sonos App on Google Play Store

Yeah, my widget is gone. Super bad deployment for Sonos. Must be payback for Google for reversing the multiple speaker lawsuit. In any case the customers should bare the brunt of their beef with Google. Definitely leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

What a load of crap.

My widget disappeared.

My system cannot be found.

The new app is nothing short of a nightmare and totally counter intuitive.

I don't need this garbage when I want to chill at night and listen to a bit of vinyl before bed.

Uninstalling and rolling back like most on here.

Terrible, Sonos and it's not the first time.

Do you not care about your customers? Who the hell beta tested this heap of doo?

So I uninstalled the new app, downloaded the old app, turn off automatically update. All was back to normal for a few days .. alarms, widgets all working normally!

Unfortunately the app STILL updated again!

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the older version again and turned off automatically update again.

I'm wondering why it would still auto update? 🤔
