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

Related content:Software

Hey everybody! There’s a new Sonos App update available today with a few minor changes, primarily focused around the new Improved Navigation experience. 

 

I quickly want to take a moment to introduce myself. I’m Andrew, I’ve been with Sonos for over 12 years, and have been working alongside Keith, Atom, Shaun and Liz for some time now. You’ll see me around here, but feel free to reach out!

 

Alrighty, back to the update: this is a minor one and is part of our recurring update schedule. It provides bug fixes and some tactical improvements in our continued efforts to drive the Sonos App experience forward. Our new navigation experience is still available behind the ‘Enable Improved Navigation’ toggle in Settings. 

 

I want to thank everyone who’s already opted in, and invite everyone else to give it a try! We’ll continue to track usage and collect feedback, and will ship more updates and improvements before making this experience the default for all users. If you have feedback, let us know!

 

App Update Details

iOS: 87.01.7

Android: 87.01.8

 

Player Update Details

Modern Players: 96.0-79160

Legacy Players: 86.8.78270

      And yes, support for both Mac and Windows ‘native’ apps have been moved to ‘maintenance’ mode, which means they’ve both been stripped of any setup functions, and aren’t receiving any new features. The mobile controllers (Android and iOS) are both fully featured, and the web app is slated to become the replacement for the ‘native’ apps, receiving full attention and all features from Sonos. 

      As far as I’m aware, Sonos is only releasing bug fixes to the native apps, which are fairly rare, but certainly not any new ‘features’.

      Thx. That worked, and reinstalling took care of the issue I was having. Still unsure as to how I should have located that page without coming here, but it seems that being unsure has become a way of life when dealing with them… 😉 Anyway thx again!

        As stated by ​@Airgetlam, the Windows and Mac controllers have been in maintenance mode for years.  Most setup menu options were removed way back in 2018.

          The support site (various languages available) has a decent search option.

          https://support.sonos.com/en-us/home

          The forum search can also be helpful. The AI can be iffy and the search doesn't sort by date so you need to ignore years old results.

          Fine - well understood. Still doesn’t explain why an active link on the Support page of their site should lead to a 404. But that’s just me...

          Sonos has a poor process in place for vetting website updates. All we users can do is report problems (posting here is fine) to the moderators, who can only report them upstream. At some point they may be fixed so calling them out is good.

          If you scroll down the support page further, you’ll see the “Download the Sonos App” section. That’s where that url came from. I was clicking on “Sonos Apps” in the “Browse by topic” section yesterday, and it was doing nothing at all. At least it’s now giving a 404 error. Progress?

          Googling 'Sonos downloads' worked for me 🤷🏼‍♂️
