Hi all,

With the latest update, alarms are now available in the Sonos app. You’ll need the latest version of the Sonos app and speaker firmware to have them show, and steps are posted in the Sonos App Redesign AMA, which are:

Update your app to:
1. iOS: 80.00.08 - available now in the App Store
2. Android: 80.00.05 - available now in the Play Store
Update your firmware to 79.0-52294 - available now via the Sonos App:
1. Tap the settings gear in the top right
2. Select “Manage” next to your system name
3. Select System Updates
4. Select Check for Updates
Launch the Sonos app twice in order to guarantee we fetch the latest feature flags:
1. Start the Sonos app
2. Force quit the app
3. Start the Sonos app again

Once you’ve performed the above, you’ll find alarms in the Sonos app under System Settings (⚙) → Manage → Alarms.

You can view the current roadmap on our article for Future Feature Updates in the New Sonos App and also in the Release Notes for Sonos software updates.

If you have any further feedback to share, please continue to share it the main topic for the New Sonos App linked below or any relevant threads on the community:

Alarm visible again, setting alarm time work ok, however, no alarm signal is triggered. Separate Sonos speakers, none of them is triggered to follow the set alarm schedule.

So the alarms time is in UTC time, I’m in Australia and I have to set them to 10:50pm to have them work at 8:50am.
Also if your alarm is Monday to Friday you have to set Sunday to Thursday for it to work correctly.

And if that wasn’t enough of a pain changing them in the app doesn’t always update them correctly. Also the display of all alarms will take a certain amount of time to update…

Great job team I know you’re only a Billion dollars business.

Don’t regret you don’t have a Mac or PC!!!!!

Sonos has decided to scrap every function on Mac and PC and FORCE you to buy an iPhone or Android to use their products!

It’s time for us customers to tell Sonos what WE want, NOT what Sonos would like to develop!

We have all spent a lot of money on Sonos products and now they show us all how much they DON’T love Sonos customers!!

Get rid of Sonos and find a new product, please share your findings here so we can buy a new solid product!

Uhhhhh, the Mac/PC app has been deprecated in functionality for almost 5 years. Where have you been?

Im sure the advertising standards authority and consumer rights act would have something to say about this. I’ve waited three years for my speakers to work… so frustrating.

We are all due a refund if Sonos don’t proceed to fix the issues.

First they removed the bulky controller. Then replaced with a less bulky controller.

Then the digital app/controller came out (after we had all spent hundreds on the controllers)

Bbc radio channels no longer work unless played through the bbc sounds app on Sonos

Spotify then froze on adverts (now fixed on my app)

Alarms feature completely broke in 20/2021 and now Sonos alarms will only chime

Recently they removed all personalisation and cool features from app

It seems some people are saying that alarms are back in the app? Is this on Android or iPhone? I'm on Android and still can't find any alarm feature. I'm on the latest release (02-Jul).

I was excited to see Alarms were again available in the Android app, but silly me...I should have known. It's only an illusion. Any attempted edits cannot be saved. The save button is totally non-functional. I thought maybe that was only for old alarms - ok, no problem I'll create new. Nope, won't save those either. Giving me what amounts to a mock up of this feature does not count as having brought it back.

For reference, this is how you access alarms in the app:

Forced to update to 80.04.05, and there is no alarm setting in my Manage menu.

Thanks Sonos, super duper quality control, I use the alarm functionality every day, and because you had to launch a set of mediocre headphones you decided to ruin my system.
