📲 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.

iOS - 81.00.52

If you haven’t already, I suggest “reserving” IP addresses in your router.

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!

Me neither. It’s mind boggling how they deploy that. I got the “rounded corners of the album art” from the previous update, I have this “save queue to playlist” feature” but still no library sorting options.

Well, what do you know! After over 2 months I finally got the library sorting features in the Android app. Wow!

🤓 me too.…

Wonder if it was down to ​@Corry P chasing as a side concern from this discussion…

The timing is rather suspicious 🤔😉
