Update to 80.18.23 which may include playlist editing??

I note the latest Android / IOS App  includes Playlist editing with the caveat:-

 

80.18.23 (Android)

80.18.25 (iOS)

Release date: 31/03/2025

In this update:

  • Ability to create and edit Sonos playlists
    • Gradual rollout: This feature will be available to all users over time

 

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.

Or people could just chill a bit and wait a day or so for it to appear.

      Yes, it certainly does, it's how I thought it was working.

        Me too… 😉

        And I‘m not scared of Sonos having the option to do so. I can’t remember they have done so in the past and it was affecting people negatively in any way. At all nobody seems to have recognized such a thing. 
        Adding Sonos playlists again to the new app obviously wasn’t quite easy, because it took Sonos much longer as estimated. I can understand that they make use of this special tool to have a closer and controlled look at the first days of live operation. 
        If there occur any unestimated issues, they will be able to release a fix before all users are disappointed and affected by a bug. 
         

        Yes, someone could say that’s some kind of beta testing, but no beta test can guarantee all live operation working well. 
        So for this special situation I‘m sure they carefully decided to use the option and took a close look at the pros and cons.

          Seems to me that the rollout is triggered by controller id. I have several Apple and Android devices updated to latest version of Sonos app and Sonos playlists edit is available on my iPad and one Android smartphone. IPhone for example is still missing. 
          After my first look Sonos playlist editing works well. 😎

          Update to yesterday…

          Android has updated to 80.18.24 over night in UK from 80.18.23. and can now edit playlists. 

          However still cannot start playlist from scratch by adding albums/tracks and then making that queue into a playlist.

          Recently Played from Local Library still doesn't show album art and local library doesn't show hd/hi-res banners.

          Consider yourselves lucky. I'm on 80.19.10 release 20250408

          With a Moto Edge 2022 +

          And I cannot even PLAY my playlists created in Sonos, let alone edit them.

          I CAN play songs or albums from my NAS from the mobile app, so the music source is not the problem.

          I'm so tired of waiting for this to be fixed....
