📲 The new Sonos App & Player Updates for late-January are Now Available! 🔊

Hey everyone!

This morning, the team is deploying an update to both the Sonos app and player firmware. This release introduces a long-requested feature and several stability fixes to keep your system running smoothly. As always, if you’d like to look at previous updates check out our App Release Notes here, as well as our System (Player) Release Notes here.

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

iOS - 81.00.52

Android - 81.00.51

  • Save Queue as Playlist: You can now save your current queue as a playlist, making it easy to revisit your favorite listening moments anytime.

  • Fixed issue with slider size not changing when font set larger than medium

Player Update

  • Security Improvements

  • Player Stability Fixes

    I see the option but when trying to save i get Sonos Favourites Full😳  Maybe because I’ve not got the full update yet or is there a limit?

     

    Tried deleting a playlist to add a new one but same response.

    Resolved…. Found an errant speaker that had not updated. Undated that, cleared queue, closed app. Opened app and tried again and success!  
     

    was going to delete the post but this may help others.

      The App release notes can’t even get the iOS app version number correct.

      Haven't got the previous release features  yet (library sort options), right app version just no feature...

      So not breath holding for this to be switched on once app updates!

        That’s the best update I’ve had for a long time. I think the last one went okay but I had to restart the app when it hung on finishing up. This went very smooth. I’ve been bumping my Apple ratings back up in recent times. 
         

        edit to be a bit fairer, as I mentioned my router died so it’s probably been a factor for a few months.

          I did the app and firmware updates for my four iOS devices. All now show as completely up to date, but the new Save queue option is only available on two of the devices. Can I expect this particular part of the update to show up on the other two devices over the next several days, or should it have shown up right away? If it should already be there and it isn’t, what should I do to fix this?

          I’d probably call Sonos Support to discuss it.

          When you speak directly to the Support staff, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.

          Same for me. All Sonos Apps and firmware on latest version, iOS operating systems all on latest version.  Save Queue option only shows on my iPad.  The Save Queue option is still not available on 2 iPhones (14 pro and SE gen 2).

          I’m curious, what did Support say, when you called in?

          I’m holding off calling for a bit to see if this does actually update within the next few days. Per another thread about this, I’m not the only one having this issue. For practical purposes, I can save playlists on two of my devices and then use them on all the devices.  I’m pretty busy right now and I don’t want to get stuck on a long Customer Service call unless it’s really necessary. I was hoping to just get more information by posting on the forum. Thank you for your suggestion and I may eventually need to call them.
