Question

Stuck on ”allow access to local network” in new app. Help!

Deleted the old app (ios) and installed the new one, but now it won’t get past the ”allow access to local network” message. Even though I’ve allowed access on and off several times.

So basically I can’t use the app at all. Can’t add or edit speakers, nothing. Spotify is now my main Sonos app……

Have tried to reinstalled the app and restarted the phone several times. Anyone with the same issue?

I grabbed an older iPhone and downloaded the new app. Worked perfectly fine. Don’t know why my iphone 13 mini is having issues.

Heading of an email i received  in the last hour - this thread has been running for over 12 hours

“The Sonos app is redesigned and better than ever “  very funny (not)

I ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE!  Just bought a Move 2 and downloaded the new app.  It keeps sending me in circles, telling me to turn on Local Network WHEN IT’S ALREADY ON.
 
Glad I read this before doing a recommended factory reset...  Sounds like I would have disconnected my entire system!  I’ll be sure never to update this app before having company over.  Sheesh!

Have the same issue, iPhone14 Pro. Sat with support for an hour with zero progress. They did not even know what the new app looks like and what options (and not) there are for the user. Quite disappointing.

Same issue here, iPhone 14 Pro Max. Was on with Support, took an hour for them to answer from hold and then 10 minutes of troubleshooting everything that I had already done, from reinstalling the app to rebooting the phone to resetting my network. Can’t get past this section even though I’m already connected to the local network. Really sucks.

I was just told on my call with their support team that it’s the 1313 and the 14 iPhones that are having problems

I am having the same issue with my new Roam I just got today, how terribly disappointing this is with my first Sonos products. I am considering returning this item if its going to be so problematic, they’re certainly not inexpensive.

Also stuck in the “local network access” loop, after downloading the new app on my iPhone XR. Also waiting on hold for 400 years for technical support.

I am also getting the recursive loop on allowing local access. Have to call in the am and get a tech. I deleted the app and now lost all control to all devices. Pain in the bum.
