Why have Sonos removed the sleep timer function in the new App . This makes my speaker useless to me.
Waiting for a response from Sonos but if nothing forthcoming I will have to ditch it and change brands as I use it all the time.

if you’re having the same issues please email Sonos as well, the more that do should hopefully make them take some action !!

The new app is such a catastrophe! What vendor removes good features and just adds rubbish??? I am thinking about selling all my Sonos product (10+) with such an app to control...

All fixed. The sleep timer was added back today. The alarm feature is also there, but that one never left. Just hard to find.

I think its important to make a distinction between what has been removed and what isn’t yet present, although to the end user the distinction is moot.

We know alarms are present in the underlying OS and therefore is present on the speakers and amps. The UI of the phone app is clearly unfinished (and yeah that is another way of saying rushed out). But alarms clearly haven’t been removed.l, per se. I’m not excusing it, I’m just saying it’s not in the app — yet, but it hasn’t been removed from the OS. I don’t know why I’m saying this when Sonos should have stepped in by now and calmed the waters here, but they haven’t. Sit tight, the missing bits will be added in, though they can’t come soon enough.

The sleep timer is back in the version released on 4th June. It was easy to update the Android app. For iOS I had to disable and re-enable the app to get the upgrade

The sleep timer appears to be back in the 5 June update, however it only appears for Services such as Spotify and Sonos Radio. It is not working for the local Music Library.
When will this be fixed please Sonos?

I also found the local music library doesn’t have the sleep timer function with this new update.

Same for me. The 3 dots at the bottom right of the playing room screen (where I expect the sleep timer will eventually make its triumphant return) are grayed out. For now, my workaround is to create playlists that are only as long as I want music to keep playing at night.

Interesting. Did you create this library recently or was it pre existing before the app upgrade? I have the same, my files are on a NAS
