In this article we will introduce the re-designed Home Screen of the new Sonos app. 

Below you will find an overview showing the features you'll find on the Home screen:

The System tab is located at the top right of the home screen. This tab displays all of the Sonos components and groups within a system in one place, and it serves as an overview and command center. Through this system overview page, you can view online Sonos players, grouped players, and perform a variety of functions. These functions include grouping or ungrouping players, adjusting music volume, and initiating music playback.  

The location of Settings has moved to the upper right corner of the home screen. Users can also access their Account Settings via the profile icon in the upper right corner of the app. The contents of Settings and Account Information are similar to what they were in the S2 app.

Here you can see Sonos Favorites, Recently Played and pinned items. Access your Sonos Favorites directly from the home screen. Scroll down and tab on Edit Home to customize the layout of your home screen.

Here you can see the Music Services you have added to your sytem. Add new music services, select their preferred music services, and remove connected music services by tapping Manage.

Here you can find then Search bar. Enter a song, artist, album or radio station you are looking for. Search results will be displayed sorted by music services.

Similar to the S2 app the Now Playing banner is located at the bottom of the home screen. Here you can see what is currently streaming and you can play/pause and control the volume.

Hit the Grouping button within the Now Playing banner to quickly group other rooms with the currently chosen room to play the same content atthe same relative volume.
