Just checking - did you update the app and then also run the subsequent essential system update?

(Also to confirm, editing is for all playlists you’ve ever created, not just those created in the new app.)

Yep - system update had already happened before the app update.

Finishing system m update is spinning, 30 minutes so far.

Close and reopen the app. If the speakers have stopped flashing then it’s likely it’s just the app stuck in a loop. Open the app again and run the update and you’ll probably find it’s done.

Thanks Rhonny, I had to force close the app.

I'm eager to find out how it's now working.

Seems to me that the phased rollout after installing the latest update is triggered by individual controller id.
I have several Apple and Android devices and on my iPad and one Android smartphone the Sonos playlist feature now is available. But for example for my iPhone it’s still missing.
And just to add… after a quick test Sonos playlist editing works well for me.

Mmm - I’m obviously not in the Sonos favourite users group because I still can’t create or edit playlists with the latest update. Wonder if their “gradual rollout” is going to take as long as their fixing the bugs they introduced? I’d love to know how they are managing a gradual rollout….

So when you search for any track and then tap the three dots next to it, the menu that comes up doesn’t say “Add to Sonos Playlist” below “Save to Sonos Favourites”?

And then you go to Sonos Favourites → Playlists → and tap on a Playlist that you have created, when you tap the three dots beneath the Playlist title/thumbnails at the top, does it not say “Edit Sonos Playlist”?

Correct Rhonny - it does not say Add To Sonos Playlist. No option after the update 3~4 days ago plus a system update to do anything with a playlist. As someone above said, they are rolling this out gradually - no idea what that means or how they are managing it but I still have the crap version of the App.

Indeed it’s a rollout in phases after the latest update. I don’t know if it’s a random decision which controller will be updated in the background automatically or if there a certain parameter influencing that.
I just can tell you that 3 days after the update my Sonos controller app on iPad and an Android smartphone suddenly had the Sonos playlist feature available. And my iPhone and other devices are still missing it.
All are connected to the same sonos system and Sonos account.
So my advice is… take a big cup of coffee and just sit and wait. 😉

Quick update folks. At some stage between yesterday evening and this morning, Sonos upgraded my status from the “Naughty” to the “Nice” list and I finally have a Playlist function on the Sonos App. It's a miracle! Off to create some playlists, lets hope they are still there tomorrow…..

One of my controllers received the playlist flag today as well. No multi select boo.
