Thank you. My app did not have this screen. Had to uninstall and reinstall to get this screen. The previous install was playing but not showing me what was playing and no controls. 🤷🏽

Does Sonos have any plans to resolve this issue for us? I’m heavily invested into Sonos and Apple. Sonos needs to address the underlying architecture issue. I don’t want to unlock my phone, open the Sonos app, then select the device I want to control. Controlling the volume through the lock screen or Apple TV remote app enhances the user experience. Forcing us to use the Sonos app when numerous other devices comply with the Apple policy and “just work” will disenfranchise what was a very committed customer base.

Ask Apple.  It is they who forced Sonos to remove it due to their rule against changing the functionality of hardware buttons and/or lock screen controls.
