Hey all! We've got a new update live for both iOS and Android. Here's a quick breakdown of what's changed. If you want to see what the teams have 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

iOS - 86.00.41

Android - 86.00.35

  • iOS App Intents - You can now create shortcuts that integrate with Siri and Apple Home. This includes playback control, grouping, volume control, and playback initiation.

Player Update

  • Modern: 95.1-78010

We'd love to hear from you! If you've already started building shortcuts, drop them in the comments — we'd love to see what you've come up with. And if there's something you wish App Intents could do, let us know. Your feedback helps shape where this feature goes next. 🙏

    I don't see anything relating to the update when following the link (just historic updates), is that intended? 

    Regarding not everybody getting it at the same time (phased rollout), my understanding was that getting the Update didn't necessarily mean you got the new functions too and they're controlled separately? i.e. you can have the latest version but not actually have the new functionality? Does pulling down on the Account page force something else? Is there an equivalent for Android?

    I think the release notes didn't get updated yet. (They are now) 

    The rollout is phased but it doesn't appear that the features are but I don't use Apple so I can't tell for sure.

     

    Not in the post, but does anyone else feel like their Era-300 status lights are dimmer than before the update? Mute is still nicely bright but the basic white color is really dim, not visible without darkening the room.

    Edit: Era-100s and older/other Sonos don't seem to be dimmer.

      Guess so, sorry about that. :-)

      Well unless the formatting is confusing me and the release note is supposed to be saying they are for iOS only.

        OK, I've not seen it like this before.

        (“Hey all! We've got a new update live for both iOS and Android.”)

        So there is an Android Update, but it has no changes?  It's not just a point release either, it goes from 85.x to 86.x too?
