New Player and App Update Available! Sept '25🔊

🗣️ Hi Everyone 🔊

This morning, we deployed an update for iOS and Android as well as a small patch to our firmware (Player). See below for a run down of what's changed. If you'd like a look at what has changed over the last few months, check out our App Release Notes here, as well as our System (Player) Release Notes here.

As with most updates, this will be a Phased Rollout, which means that you may (or may not) get the update pushed to your system. Some iOS users have sidestepped this in the past, by going directly to the App Store. If you still do not see the update, try refreshing the App Store by pulling down (as if you were refreshing a page) on the Account page that shows all your pending app updates.

In the App update:

Android & iOS - 80.27.6

Fast Scroll in Queue for iOS
- You can now fast scroll in the queue, and opening the queue will jump to the track that is currently playing.
Group Volume sync with haptic feedback.
- Want to have all your rooms at the same volume level? Move the group volume all the way to the left, wait for a small buzz, now all your rooms will follow the group volume.

Once you have updated the app, you will be required to update the system (Players).

In the Player update:

Firmware - 90.0-68140

Fix for unexpected increase in bass output
Fix for Trueplay tuning failing on Arc Ultra with Sub or surrounds.

As always please do not hesitate to share your feedback (about the new Group Volume sync, or anything really), myself and the team genuinely appreciate it! 🙏🏽

Is the display of the current song in the queue ios only? Because it’s not working for me on Android.

If I understand your question, I think you are referring to the Now Playing window. I have two IOS devices and both display the album artwork for the song currently playing (provided the artwork is available, or it will display the double eighth notes), but I don’t know if the Android app does this. So someone using an Android device would have to add to this reply.

To follow up on @John Guarr response; if I too understand your question the answer is yes for Android as well.

It’s iOS only for the moment. Still to be implemented for Android.

Thanks @Mr. T I guess I’ll have to keep waiting.

New IOS app update this morning. I looked for a Save feature but still none. No release notes posted. Don’t know what it addressed.

Example, my system hasn't gotten the group count numbers activated yet. Picked up app and system updates since the one that included the numbers but still no numbers.

Looks like my issue was that the numbers won't appear unless you let your Sonos controller device access optimizely.com. Allowed that, restarted the app and after looking at a few Rooms (that showed the number) the numbers appeared on the main page too.

I guess this has to do with Pi users? I’d never heard of Optimzely.com until now. Nor have I experienced the issue with iOS or Android🤷

It applies to any local DNS filter or local network ad blocker, to include customized DNS servers upstream of your network.

Now that you mention it..I believe I vaguely remember giving an app permission for Optimzely.com. However, that was ages ago. Never had to do so manually with Sonos to the best of my memory. But then again, my memory takes a trip more often these days and loses the road map to get home.😅

Still no Save button in the IOS app. Added a song to one of my playlists and had to remember to go upstairs and wake up my PC and use the Windows Controller. This isn’t right

No Comments in over 17 days. I don’t even check this anymore, just happened to this morning to see if any new features were added. Still no Save button in the IOS app. I guess it’s not happening. Waiting for this thread to be deactivated by Sonos. I give up.
