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

    You just need to be careful to get official Sonos downloads, the risk of malicious code is low but it exists.

    Same for downloads of older Android app code that work with older Android versions, never 100% sure what you are getting.

    Agreed, in this case though the top result is

      Have enabled the toggle and see the new interface. Like it so far.

      Hopefully we can get some improvements in the Sonos Playlist area as editing is super cumbersome, like navigating a list with 2000+ songs. Some suggested functionality if possible;

      • Add a search capability in edit mode that allows to search for music by genre or artist to verify the contents of the playlist. 
      • Something resembling dynamic lists - having genres appear in multiple lists and adding/removing tracks from the library requires a lot of manual hunting and pecking to clean things up.
      • Display track times in the queue
      • Whatever improvements to IOS app are reflected in the desktop app, the IOS screen is too small to do really big things with and the desktop app fills that gap.
      • Allow multi value string in genre tag - have been asking for this for like 10  years. :)

      Thank you for your attention to this matter… :)
