The title pretty much says it: the app is at 14.8.1 and the system is updated, but when I go to Settings>Services&Voice>Add a voice assistant I don’t get the SVC. Still only get Alexa and Google. Anyone else?

I had the same problem and I’m running PiHole DNS black hole. I disabled it for a minute and restarted the Somos app and the app immediately offered SVC.

looking at logs, the issue seems to be that queries for a couple of urbanairship.com entries are blocked.

It seems the DNS blocks just impacts initial setup - SVC is working fine now without any whitelisting.

Yes, same here. I re-enabled the blocking and no issue.

My iOS ad blocker, 1Blocker, was doing the same thing! Thanks to the forum for pointing me in the right direction and boo to Sonos for making this functionality dependent on their spyware being able to phone home.

Since the DNS block just impacts initial set up, maybe the blocked service is needed for authentication or such, rather than to be used as spware?

@106rallye, this is very plausible. It would be nice to know which one it is, though.
