Hey all! We've got a new update live for both iOS and 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. If you're on iOS and want to nudge it along, head to the App Store, pull down on your Account page (the one showing pending updates), and give it a refresh. That usually does the trick.

What's New:

App Update

Android & iOS - 85.00.31

About Your System Refresh (iOS only) - We've given the About Your System page a makeover.
TuneIn Removal from Home Screen - If you have Old TuneIn shortcuts saved in your Home we are starting to remove any broken links. There will be a prompt to “Fix It” to help you migrate links to the new TuneIn.
iOS/iPadOS 17 Support Ending - If your device is running iOS or iPadOS 17, the app will no longer receive updates on those versions. Updating to iOS/iPadOS 18 or higher will allow you to keep receiving app updates on that device.
Additional Grouping Option in Music Library Settings - Album Artist sorting now includes "Both" as an option, making it easier to group albums the way you'd expect.
Sonos Radio Ad Personalization - US listeners on Sonos Radio's free tier may see a pop-up for device-specific privacy settings. Opting in helps serve more relevant ads to your listening habits.
Back end changes related to messaging, content refresh, and home screen.

Player Update

Modern: 95.0-77060
Legacy: 86.7-77050

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

. It would be nice if the new app offered this option.

+1 For me this was a big loss in how my family used the system, we really want this back

Just checked the third party app SonoPhone. You can access the queue after using either TV or a radio station.

@MoPac What’s “the old orange app”? I know the new black S2 app and the now grey S1 app, that used to be brown, but I’ve never seen an orange app.

The App icon, before the ‘disaster’, used to be orange. It still is for some. Presenting users with same named options with completely different result/content is unbelievable.

OK, the old S1 app. To me that is brown, not orange - citing colours instead of names is always difficult.

Since the apps have different names, what do you mean by “same named options”? Do you mean the “going back to a queue” function that is still not restored on the after May 2024 S2 app?

Sorry, no, the icon above (orange/sand/brown) was the S2 icon before Sonos changed it to black. The image above shows the two Apps co-existing on one of my devices.

By ‘same named options’, I mean users can now have options (names) on screen for Playlists that have the same name but completely different contents. I've never come across allowing such a confusing naming before.

@sjw I should have seen that from the names of the app in your picture. So not only do I seem to be color blind, I should also read more closely. ;-)

I just updated my android phone to the latest sonos app version yesterday.

My phone is using the app version 85.00.31-release+20260430.8ff9f30

All my system is updated to version 95.0-77060

Existing or new playlists do not display elements coming from Pocket Casts (PC) anymore.

Playlist with only PC are shown as empty, but the list icon is still made from a patchwork of the elements in it. The list can still be played, and new elements can be added to it. It’s just the display of these elements that are missing when looking at the playlist content or editing the playlist.

PC element are correctly shown in the playing list.

Elements coming from my music library are displayed as usual in playlists.

Viewing and removing items from playlists is still working with the (not sonos) linux app noson.

So clearly a regression bug in last update that was not detected before pushing to prod.
