@orinoco Not even after you've given your system some time to sync with Sonos?

Since Googel Assistant is something between your Sonos device and Google any phone that can run de Sonos app, the Google Home app and the Google Assitant app can be used to set it up  -after that you won't have to use your phone for GA. The phone can be iOS or Android.

@106rallye @cweikhiang i tried (change location in my profile) but I couldn’t add any other services besides music services on my iPhone. I’m wondering if I need an android phone instead to connect to google assistant / voice services?)

@106rallye got it! Had some trouble getting the GA app on my iPhone in the first place. But now all sorted. Thanks for the tips!

@106rallye updated my profile per your suggestion, but I can't ADD GA as GA is not listed in the ADD A SERVICE.  It's been 2hours since the profile update

@Paul Tang that happened to me too. Till I realised that need to have GA app on my phone first before it can appear on Sonos app, it took some workaround to do that (changing App Store to whichever country where GA is available, then I was able to download GA). Once I did that, then everything else should be seamless. Hope that helps!

Provided you are trying to add GA the right way (https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3467?language=nl_NL), I’m out of options…....

@106rallye Am following exactly the same process but unfortunately voice service option doesn’t even appear.  Maybe because I am using the S2 app…..
