28th July 2026 - New Sonos App & Player Updates Now Available!

Cheers Andrew.

Sigh, while I have the 87.00.38 version on my Android phone (Samsung S25 Ultra) the improved navigation option still hasn't appeared there yet and here we are on a new release.

Not in the Play store for me this morning so I'm guessing this will be a rolling release and will also have delayed activation of some features once it is available/downloaded?

Something weird is happening. One of my surrounds, era 100, which is my right surround just refuses to update. All of my other setups have successfully updated, Arc Ultra, Sub 4, the other Era 100 which is left surround all updated without issue, only this one Era 100 right surround is left hanging. I’ve tried unplugging all of the products, and still, refuses to update. All of my products are wired in, and SonosNet turned off. Any ideas why?

Since it is a surround you might try a network refresh and see if it helps.

Power down all Sonos, reboot the router and controller then power the Sonos back up. 

On wiring all, how is that working for the Era surrounds and Sub? I used to have my older surrounds and Sub wired but got conflicts with the 5 gHz HT link and was advised to go Wi-Fi only for them.

Hmm...that’s strange as I’m running the same version on my Android Tab A9+ and have the Improved Navigation enabled. Also, the most recent update is available to me in the Play Store. Although it could very well be a roll-out sequence.

It would be nice if Sonos could share a bit of their phased roll-out data in a format such as below:

• Country > Regional 

For myself and ​@Stanley_4 it might be:

United States by Time Zone

• PST
• MST
• CST
• EST

I realize that the Time Zones extend into other countries but it might call for investigation under certain parameters. For example, if anyone in a respective zone has not received the roll-out and others have it may indicate a deeper issue that warrants investigation. Just a thought as the complexities to provide such data may be more involved than I imagine.

On the last update: My tablets all have it available, only the phone is lacking. I kinda hoped to get it active before the next update is available to me.

On this update: My usual place in the rollout queue is close to the two week tail for downloading, not expecting it sooner.

It would be nice to have some idea of when the download will be available and when feature activation will happen but that is likely difficult to provide or even explain.

I don’t know what you mean by “All products are Wired-In” be that as it may try the following:

EDIT: Try ​@Stanley_4 suggestion first

First Step:

• Unplug the soundbar for 30 seconds and then plug it in.
• Allow it to come back and reestablish communication with the surrounds.
• Test connection be playing music. 
• Run the update again 
• If no joy proceed to Step 2

Step 2

• Remove the Era 100’s as surrounds
• Make sure they revert back to individual rooms (if not factory reset them and set them up as individual rooms) *
• Add then as surrounds again
• Test connection by playing music
• Run the update; if needed
• If no success run a diagnostic, make note of the reference ID (do not post it in the community) and call Sonos Tech Support to review the data

 * Factory Reset may force the update

Hey Stanley, our rollout is at 100% so if the app hasn’t updated, check DNS blockers like Pi-Hole and firewalls. These filters stop the feature flag from registering in-app. Pausing the filter, restarting the app, and then re-enabling the filter has worked for other folks who have contacted Support.

Pretty sure my filters are good, 3 tablets here updated with no issues but easy enough to check.

Tried the filter disable, no change. Tried a network refresh and no change.

What finally worked (maybe with the refresh) was deleting and reinstalling the app. The toggle was there once it opened.

Thanks for the status update and suggestions, now I just have to wait for this update to land here.
