Having installed this I don’t see any playlist editing features so my question is:

What is the timeline for making this feature available to all?

and will it require another update to activate it ?

Hi @sjw

We can use Optimizely to enable or disable certain UI elements at will without the need for an update. My assumption (from the fact that I installed both app and player updates and yet still don’t see Playlist options) is that this is what is happening with this particular feature roll-out.

I hope this helps.

You need to update the app AND the system.

I’m on iOS and had to wait just a couple of hours.

I suspect users on Android will probably wait a bit longer for it to be fully rolled out as is the case with many Android apps because of the huge variation in handsets and tablets.

Yes, both the app and the os on each device were updated to the latest versions as per the latest release notes and yet there is no playlist editing feature presented in the app hence my questions above.

Perhaps the

Gradual rollout: This feature will be available to all users over time

may be pertinent?

Go into Sonos Favourites then Playlists, then tap on a Sonos Playlist that you have created. Tap the three dots and under the menu that appears will be Edit Sonos Playlist.

yes, agreed it is and that’s why I was asking my original questions about timescales…..

It seems that some others with the identical OS and App versions as I have report seeing the playlist editing feature whilst I do not and this I find very disconcerting as it means that Sonos have control from the cloud over the functions any individual can see and they can turn features on and off at will.

That is a very worrying scenario don’t you think?.

A staged rollout is not what you describe. The simple fact is, the servers used to distribute an update are not populated all at the same time, but that’s a Google/Android/Apple thing, nothing to do with Sonos. Sonos has no ability to say “Fred gets version X, but Ethel gets version Y, and Lucy is stuck on version Z”. Unless you are signed up for Beta, you get the version everyone else does.

Sonos can turn features off an on as they see fit.

That’s for all users. The poster seems to think they can specify functionality at the user level. Which is silly, both for the complexity of the task, and the thought that Sonos actually cares about something like that.

ok, but as per my original question

I do have the latest Android App version that claims to have the feature and I do have the latest OS on the devices so could you explain in your scenario why the feature doesn’t appear yet?
