11th Aug 2026 - 📲 New Sonos App & Player Updates Now Available! 🔊

Related content:Software

Hey all! We've got a new update live for Android. Here's a quick breakdown of what's changed. Want the full history of what we've been up to? Check out our App Release Notes here and System (Player) Release Notes here.

 

As always, this is a Phased Rollout, think of it like a wave; not everyone gets it at the same time. 

 

What's New:

App Update

  • Android - 88.00.43
  • Smarter handling of offline products - We tuned up the settings experience for products that go offline:
    • Offline products now stick around in Settings for 3 months instead of disappearing right away, giving you time to reconnect them.
    • Improvements to how bonded sets behave when part of the set drops offline.
    • Added a "hide" option so you can tidy up Settings by removing offline products you don't plan to bring back.

 

Player Update

  • Modern - 96.1-79270

And for iOS, we didn’t forget about you. Just some last minute polishing on the update. It’ll be here soon.

As always, feedback is welcome. The good, bad, or in between. We read it all. 🙏

Stations I've had saved for some time don't show it, might be older cached icons.

Odd to have a graphic addition when the favorite has Staton right under the name. 

Guess it doesn't matter as long as I'm not missing any new function behind the overlay.

Not sure when this happened but the Search history is now showing the search response, not the search string.

Aggravating as I have to keep retyping the search string instead of simply editing it. At least copy/paste works there.

While I'm complaining, why do screens reposition or change configuration when I leave and come back? Unless I change something I'd really prefer the app view stay where/how it was.

How aggravating would it be if someone followed you around and every time you set something down and looked away, they moved it a couple feet?

​@Stanley_4 yes the search history corruption both annoying and illogical (are these things tested?)…

Also, I lost my pinned local folders on the home screen, for ex.

they re-pin OK fortunately:
