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 - Sonos 27.0 / 89.1

Ace Ultra support - The app now works hand in hand with our all new Ace Ultra headphones.
Beam Ultra support - Full compatibility with the new Beam Ultra soundbar.

As always, feedback and questions are welcome. We read it all. 🙏

Any way to get an early update option for Android users or does Google make that too difficult?

Waiting a couple weeks to get full Android app support for your pre-ordered and just delivered new Sonos isn't good.

Great - but please also fix the library indexing bug which has been troubling your customers for a year by now 🙏

In this new update, the “About Your System” page, Sonos System Info list. Each device now has “S1 or S2”: S2. Since this is the S2 app, and only works with S2 devices, how is this information useful? Is there a case where “S1 or S2” will say S1?

It could be an easier identifier for Sonos folks looking at a diagnostic. But that’s a guess.

As of June 2020, all new products are S2-only.

That is correct. The question is, why is the “S1 or S2: S2” shown at all in the device’s system info when all the devices are S2 and there’s no chance any device could be S1.

Looks like it's just a rename of 'Sonos OS' (the corresponding support page hasn't been updated yet).

Your update upgraded my speakers from S1 to S2 without my initiation. FYI: I had downgraded to S1, since Music Library support is still a work around when adding, and indexing a nightmare. After years…. Why don't you fix these issues first??? And why did my speakers update anyways?

No idea how you got this managed… There is no automatic S2 update for S1 devices initiates by the latest S2/Sonos27 app update.
Myself I use a S1 and S2 System on the same network and yesterday’s update did absolutely nothing to my S1 system.

Answering myself after a couple hours reading Google tech stuff: Nope, not something Google's system allows.
