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.

    Exactly the same here this morning. 

    Old app updated without permission and now I have no widgets again which are essentiall for me. 

    It's a sad day but I'm sick of fighting with constant problems with my Sonos system. 

    Im going to look at alternatives.  I can't continue to invest in this, it's too unreliable.  I like to be master of my own destiny and not suddenly find that somebody somewhere is deciding for me when and how my system will, or won't work. 

    I shall start to look at replacing it all.  I'm sure a traditional amp hooked up to my Rega will sound better anyway.  Sonos was just for convenience but it's become inconvenient so time to move on.

      I've contacted german help desk today and- you won't believe it- the man on the phone didn't even know what a widget is! I spelled it three times and then hang up. Its a freek show. Unfortunately their hardware is very good…

        I hope the Sonos Android App Product Owner will comment on this thread with a roadmap for bringing back the widget support.

          Nearly half way through June & it’s starting to look like they don’t plan to restore the Android widget. I’m also going to have to revert & prevent updates on mobile <facepalm>

          Why do the sonos forums exist if none of their dev/admins ever contribute to the conversation or review & pick-up the feedback for feature enhancement?

          Thanks for including the APK link

            Thanks for this. Was wondering if I could update yet.  Sounds like the answer is no.

              I've reverted and disabled updates only to have it push through it's own update disable function and force update to the newest (broken) version. 

              Have reverted again & have yet to see it push through again. 

              As much as I was underwhelmed by the previous version of the app, it makes me happy to have to widget back & have a UI that makes some linear sense.
