Hi @Lwazi penwell Masina

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Launching on Sonos via a free software update in Spring 2023, Amazon Alexa International Version will be available in 27 new countries: Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, Peru, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Ecuador, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, South Africa, Turkey, and Puerto Rico.

Amazon Alexa International Version supports a limited number of Amazon Alexa features, including music playback controls, calendars, alarms, and smart home commands. Some features and services are not supported.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Kevinmgp

There have been no announcements regarding the expansion of Google Assistant’s supported regions.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Lwazi penwell Masina

Please take it as a surety that no date will be given beforehand - it’ll be made available, and when it is made available, it will be announced. Not only do I not know exactly when this will be, but if I did know I would not be allowed to share the information in case it needed to be delayed for some reason.

It is coming soon, however.

I hope this helps.
