A new Sonos App update is now available!

Hey everyone!

This morning, we deployed an update to the Sonos app with a few changes and improvements to the user interface and experience. See below for a list of some of the things coming in this update.

iOS: 80.24.35
Android: 80.24.32

  • Improved Speaker Icons & Badging
    • Updated hero speaker icon for grouping / output selection
    • Add badging to the speaker icon to afford the number of targetable rooms in the group
    • Use of color to communicate selected speakers
    • Note: Web Controller will only be receiving the updated icons, not badging (numbers)
  • iOS 16 Limited Compatibility
    • Devices that are unable to update beyond iOS 16 are: 
      • iPhone X, iPhone 8 & iPhone 8 Plus (and older models)
      • iPad (Gen 5), iPad Pro 9.7 & iPad Pro 12.9 (Gen 1)
    • There have been in app pop-ups on devices running iOS16 since July 7

 

Important Note: In the upcoming weeks, older Sonos players will feature a distinct firmware version compared to newer devices. This change will not impact your listening experience. It is designed to maintain product support and enable future innovations without impacting your current high-quality listening experience. These players will continue to receive essential updates, ensuring they are not 'frozen.'

    I hope next update will fix the volume controls. Being usually between 5-15 on the volume, your solution it is very fiddly. A good thing would be if you made it more like Spotifys version, with a big -/+ on the sides.

      I have to concur about the “1” being displayed when there is no group. Why the 1 denotes you do not have another room grouped is beyond me. To me it would be more logical if nothing was shown when no group exists and a 1 would be shown when grouping one room with this one etc.

        No, new features are enabled in app, Sonos either hasn’t flagged your account for the app update, your updated app hasn’t been flagged to enable this feature,  a bug or network issue has caused the feature flag to not work or pass through or your app is borked and needs a reinstall or forced close.

          Reinstalled, force closed and even rebooted the Controller tablet, no new numbers so it is likely the slow rollout just hasn't gotten to me yet.

          I temporarily disabled my device in-app tracker and that allowed the new UI to show up. Thanks.

            For anyone using it, there is an app update for the Mac desktop app (possibly also for the Windows app). I had to run the app/controller update to get Sonos running this morning.

             

            Not sure of the changes (or what the previous build number was), but I’d imagine it’s most likely just aligning it to function alongside the latest firmware update.

              What’s up with the volume reduction?

              I have been using a house-wide Sonos system for nearly a decade, all operated via Home Assistant. Over this period, I have set the volume of each speaker such that the volume is consistent across the house. Now all the sudden we can barely hear our music. What gives? 

              This is a recent change. I haven’t done testing across all sources, but it certainly impacts playback of Spotify playlists.

              New firmware update won’t complete on half my units but at least the speakers still work 

              I may try it again tomorrow 😕
