A few hours ago I updated to Version 14.18 via my iPhone XR; it took 2 tries. My system is a Boost, Office (2 Ones gen2), Move and TV (Beam gen 2 & 2 Ones gen 1 as surrounds). Everything showed as updated and seemed to work well. A few hours later I wanted to use my wife’s iPhone 13 to control the TV and was prompted to update on her device. That took 4 tries, but everything finally showed as 14.18. An hour after that, opened my MacBook Air to check a photo album while watching TV (using the Beam and surrounds) and was prompted to update to 14.18 on my Mac. So, my question is - does every device used to access the Sonos App ( 2 iPhones, a Mac and an iPad) need to be individually updated? I do not recollect going thru all these device by device updates previously. Thx
Need to update 14.18 on every iOS device?

Yes, each controller needs to be individually updated. If you update an app on your phone, your wife’s phone wouldn’t know that you had updated.
But the Sonos devices, effectively the second ‘half’ of the process, would occur only one time. Once the speaker has updated, it stays updated, so each controller update would be significantly quicker.

Thanks for this info. I will now update my Mac and then the iPad. four devices is more than enough😁
I have six, although I’ll admit three of them don’t get ‘updated’ as frequently as the others, as they’re in only occasional use as a controller. But my priority is iPad, iPhone, and Mac, as they’re used daily.
