Hello everyone!
Earlier today we deployed an update on iOS and Android for the Sonos App and also an update to our firmware (Player). Have a quick look at what's changed below. If you are interested to know what has changed over the last few months, check out our App Release Notes here, as well as our System (Player) Release Notes here.
Once again, this will be a Phased Rollout. You might have the update ready and waiting for you within the App store or you will need to be patient until it becomes available to you.
In the App update:
iOS - 80.30.35
Android - 80.30.31
Fast Scroll in Queue for Android
Queue Improvements: You can now jump to the currently playing song in a queue and scroll through long queues faster.
Android 8 & 9 no longer supported
For Android 8 and 9 users: The Sonos app will now operate in an unsupported mode, meaning it will no longer receive updates, and will be limited to music playback controls. To access all system configuration options, update to Android 10 or higher.
Additional changes:
- Minor UI improvements (Android).
- Swipe-to-dismiss usability improvements on iOS.
- Improved performance for playlist editing on iOS.
In the Player update:
New Firmware version - 91.0-70011
Fix for some issues that may result in popping artifacts on Arc Ultra
This update addresses some of the reported popping artifacts on Arc Ultra. Please keep in mind that these sounds can also result from cables or other peripherals/software affecting the signal. If you continue to experience this issue, contact our support team if you haven’t already.
Feel free to share your feedback, it is much appreciated as always!
