A new software update is now live!

Hey everyone! 👋

Today we released an update to both your app and players.

iOS - 80.22.33
Android - 80.22.28
Players - 85.0-65270

This update includes a few QOL features I know some of you have been waiting for so without further ado, here is what the app introduces:

Improved scrolling performance in large content lists
A-Z Scrolling for Local Music Library
In app preparations for a big Ace update!

iOS improvements:

Mute buttons in the grouping menu
Tap on a product image to access the product settings!
Bluetooth sources device names now how in the Now Playing screen

Android improvements:

Recently played swimlanes will now be hidden from the home feed if you are logged out, or a guest joins the system. (Was available for iOS but is now on Android too!)

The update will be rolled out in phases, like most updates, to ensure any small bugs are caught before it reaches everyone's devices. I will update this post once I know it has been made available on all platforms to 100% of our users.

In case you missed it, our Tech Blog discussing our improved speech enhancement for Arc Ultra is now live (part 1 and 2. Part 3 will be released tomorrow.) If you want to learn more about the work that went into improving it on Arc Ultra, head over to the Tech Blog for a deep dive by our engineers!

We would love to hear what you think about these updates. Let's chat in the comments below! 👇

Definitely have the A-Z scrolling. And it’s much appreciated as I have an extensive collection of music, over 20,000 tracks.

I have letters of the alphabet segmenting my library, but no scroll. Am I missing something?

Not sure what you mean exactly. If I bring up the ‘Artists’ screen and touch, say, the “R” letter, it scrolls immediately to the beginning of the artists listing starting with “R.” The letters remain static but the list scrolls. This is vastly superior to having to use manual scrolling with one’s fingers or hand. Kudos to Sonos for making the letters big enough so that even my fingers can touch them. 😊

FYI, this is running on an iPhone Pro Max with IOS 18.5 with, of course, the latest version of the Sonos app. I can’t testify that it would work on anything else.

I don't have a list of letters at the top of the screen (I'm assuming that you do? ). But, in the list itself, I have each letter of the alphabet followed by the albums or artists starting with that letter. So perhaps only part of the updated UI is showing for me.

When in Denmark? Still no a-z scrolling here

(Also @SilverGrey )

The article says the updates will be rolled out in phases. I believe getting an app update doesn’t necessarily mean the feature will appear immediately. This was the case for the ability to add songs to a Playlist - the app was updated, but the functionality appeared to users in stages.

Just checking - have you also run the System Update too?

Yes I did… it correctly says ‘build 85.0-65270’ for the units. However, for the app (iOS) it says ‘build 80.21.6’ and not 80.22.33…? So I guess patience is all there is :)

You’ve not updated your app. Go to the App Store and update it.

I reinstalled it from Appstore. Still not there.

Is the app version correct now at least?

If so, then (again!) you will get it over the coming days. No amount of re-posting will make it go live on your account/device.

My system always seems to be on the tail end of the release cycle, I don't even check to see for the first week.

Ah. It looks like your update isn’t quite complete (as mentioned elsewhere.) This is what mine looks like after using the “J” letter. Hope it helps.
