Hey all! We've got a new update live for both iOS and Android β€” here's a quick breakdown of what's changed. For more of what has come out in previous updates check out our App 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.

Β 

What's New:

App Update

Β 

iOS - 88.01.9

Android - 88.01.10

  • TuneIn shortcut cleanup: We removed the old TuneIn shortcuts from your Home Feed that had stopped working. If you're a TuneIn user, keep an eye out for a "Fix It" prompt in the app β€” that's your cue to log in and migrate over to the new TuneIn. If it sits untouched, the prompt will switch to a countdown, and eventually the broken shortcuts will just be removed on their own. Easiest path is to tap through when you see it!

Modern: 90.0-79210

Legacy: 57.23-80060

  • macOS: native Apple Silicon support: If you've seen a message about Apple removing Rosetta 2, this one's for you. The Sonos app on macOS now runs natively on Apple Silicon, so no more Rosetta needed.

Β 

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

That would be an interesting, and substantial change in Sonos’ current position.Β

FWIW, I used the controller itself to download the β€˜new’ MacOS S2 controller, that worked fine.Β

I did as well. Both S1 and S2 desktop controllers updated with β€œCheck for updates...”.Β

Not to put a damper on the good news about the MacOSΒ Desktop app; however, for me it begs the question….

  • Will Sonos keep the Web app?

It has been my understanding that the Web App would eventually replace the Desktop app in MacΒ and Windows. I’ve been trying think πŸ’‘of a logical reason to keep both...but can’tΒ πŸ€”

EQ Shortcut seems to have been removed (Android) at this release/recently?

It now only seems to be present on drilling down into a grouped speaker list and not from the now playing volume.control, which is also absentΒ outside ofΒ a group drill down…

Sonos need some regression testing on these releases as I guess this functional lossΒ is not intentional?

For me the web app is a big help as I don't run a Mac or Windows, mostly Linux, someΒ BSD and a sprinkling of DOS.

I usually have a tablet in the room but often not handy, there the web app is a quick solution.

Native Apple Silicon support for the S1 app, amazing!! πŸ™ŒπŸŽ‰

Alas, the S1 appΒ still has no valid version info in its bundle… but that can hopefully be a quick fix now that the arm64 recompile is out the door!Β πŸ™

Being new to Sonos, I just installed 3 days ago, I thought it was me doing something wrong!

I think this is key, and should be fixed asap, as I’m constantly wanting to change the bass when switching from music to speech and vice versa.

On Android 16 tablet fully updated.

If you haven’t…you must Activate the EQ feature.
Β 

1. Open the App

2. Tap the Head Icon in the upper right next to Settings cog wheel

3. Tap App preferences

4. Enable EQ settings and/or the other two if you want

Hmm…I can’t say read the manual as you’ve been asked by ​@nik9669aΒ πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ as I don’t think πŸ€” it’s mentioned. You must use the Support Search function at Sonos.com

As I posted in reply to the message you quoted:

It’s a known issue.

You are correct..I confirmed that EQ option is missing on my Android test tablet. Even still after deleting and reinstalling the app. I’m sure Sonos will get this fixed in another update. Hopefully, sooner than later 😊
