The team is deploying an update to the Sonos app today. This release is a big one for Android users that brings a long awaited feature back to the Sonos App. As always, you can look at previous updates in our App Release Notes and System (Player) Release Notes.

Β 

This will be another Phased Rollout, which means that the update may not get pushed to your system right away. Some iOS users update 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. Note that this rollout will take approximately 2 weeks to reach all users.

App Update
Β 

iOS - 82.00.39

Android - 82.00.45

  • Android Notifications (lock screen and watch controls)
    • Control your system instantly from your Android lock screen or smartwatch with fast, familiar playback controlsβ€”no unlocking required.
  • Improvements to multi-system support on Android
  • On the iOS App Store, the Sonos app is now rated 13+ (14+ in Brazil) to align with updated App Store age-rating guidelines.

That should please a lot of Android users (and upset a lot of IOS users, I suspect).Β

Does this require yesterday’s firmware updateΒ or will it work with the older version of the firmware?

Great update for Android users. It’s awesome to see lock screen and watch controls back finally. I’m really hoping iOS gets lock screen controls returned soon too.
