Hey all! We've got a new update live for both iOS and Android. This update brings an often requested feature: Presets - now you can start playback in a chosen room at a set volume with one tap!

Want the full history of what we've been up to? Check out our App Release Notes here and System (Player) Release Notes here. This release is Sonos 27.3 for both App and Player.

Sonos app releases and features are rolled out over the course of several days, and in some instances, weeks, so you may not immediately receive the update or feature. You can check for updates in your iOS or Android app store to download the latest version of the app when it’s available. 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. Now, the details:

App Update

iOS - 91.00.41
Android - 91.00.33

Player Update

Modern: 98.0-82170
Legacy: 86.11-82170
Spotify volume levels, whether you use the Sonos app or direct control, are now more consistent with other services on Sonos.

What's New:

Presets - Start playback of pre-saved content in a chosen room at a specific volume with one tap.
Reorder your favorites - Arrange your saved content in preferred order by editing the "Featured" section in Sonos Favorites.
Swipe to skip - Swipe on Now Playing or the mini player to skip tracks.
Update network experience - Improvements to the experience when updating your network.
Sonos 27voice - Available starting Fall 2026 and supports US-English. If you're in the United States, you can opt in to try it and share feedback during early access. Signups begin soon - more to come.

iOS only

System Health - Find self-help info to spot potential issues and fixes for your system with the new System Health feature in the Help Center.

Android only

Services - You can now rearrange your list of connected services.

Ace Ultra - 3.0.10

Ace Vocal Guidance - Get spoken prompts when you change noise control modes, check battery percentage, or switch Bluetooth connections. You can turn it on or off in the app under Headphones > Settings > Hardware controls > Vocal guidance.

Let us know when you try out Presets. Tell us how you're using them, like a morning routine or a go-to party setup. We'd love to hear what's working for you.

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

Great update, Sonos team! 🎉

The new Presets feature is a welcome addition, especially for quickly playing favorite music in a specific room at a preferred volume.

Reordering favorites, swipe-to-skip controls, and improved network updates are also useful enhancements.

One suggestion: It would be great to have scheduled Presets for morning routines or bedtime listening.

One question: Are there plans to support automated Presets based on time or daily routines?

Thanks for continuing to improve the Sonos experience!

For new ideas or suggestions you can use the new “request line” where users can upvote your idea.

Regarding “plans” or development of any Sonos product (hardware and also software and new features) Sonos traditionally don’t communicate anything before announcing official facts. So I strongly suppose you won’t get any information about that from Sonos. 😉

Don't have Presets yet. When I get them will they be accessible in Shortcuts?

I took a look, but couldn’t find them to add to iOS shortcuts.

Looks like this update has broken "Add to queue” on Android for at least some of us.

@IanJShaw, There are no support representatives active here in the customer forum. However, product development depends on diagnostics to begin troubleshooting. Please contact customer support.

I've updated the app to the new version, and the software is also up to date, but I don't yet have the presets available.

I can swipe to skip though so some aspects of the latest release are available, but not all.
