How do I fix “Sonos needs local network access for setup. In iOS settings, tap Local Network, then return to the Sonos app.”
I open the settings and local network is already ticked, I have turned it off and on again I have deleted the app and nothing seems to work

Same issue. Constant cycle of “Sonos needs local network access” - even tho it already has it. Have tried deleting and reinstalling.

The new app is trying to reach msmetrics.ws.sonos.com, a subdomain blacklisted by various ad blockers. White-listing this subdomain solved it for me.

Have you tried this ?

I finally got it to work on an iPhone 15 by first hard shutting off the phone and waiting 30 sec before turning it on again. Then the first thing I did once the phone connected to wifi I went into the app and added the speaker again and it worked.

Frustrating bug though and needs to be sorted ASAP.

You had to re-add the speaker? It’s saying the system is already found on the WiFi, but it can’t connect.

I had one speaker on it already, but to get the second added I got the local network bug which got solved by a hard iPhone shutdown, and worked on restart.
