on phone play music

Just like to say you can easily play music from your iPhone on air play simple if you have .. was pissed when realised on phone ability to play music had gone 😁
It’s really of little consequence in your particular case, as you have a 'Sonos One' Speaker with built in Airplay-2 so you can just play your music from your iPhone/iPad etc. direct, using the built in Apple iOS Airplay feature.

Ok I’d be as pissed as I was yesterday then when hadn’t sussed can use air play instead of on the phone 👍🏻 It’s a joke they can take something like that away without permission !!

If you read the relevant thread you will see that it has been done reluctantly, for technical reasons and bearimg in mind the available alternatives for plsying locally-stored content.

But that has been debated to death elsewhere many times over.

Glad you reslised you had an easy slternative.

so, u want to play music on your phone
to a room that has an older sonos product?
easy peas? no awkward as hell imo-
walk thru this with me-

after u purchase a new sonos player that supports airplay2 - u first direct sonos to that new player, THEN u use the music control on the iphone to play to it, THEN u group the older player to the new sonos, THEN your turn down the audio on the new player- since u r not in that room.

both awkward and clumbsy

oh, i guess u can purchase all new players,
or u can pay apple a monthly fee to put your music library on their cloud, THEN use apple music service to play it in the home on your older players.

a costly alternatve to play music on your phone
that u have relied on for years

your product managers are wimps for letting development bamboozle u into such a lazy direction.

it will always be a valued feature, and will be missed.

Big Yawn...!

Alternatively...

1. Upload own music to Google Play and play all for free through the Sonos App GP Service. or...
2. Put own music on android device and play all for free through the ‘on this device’ feature. or...
3. Put own music on Network PC/MAC and play all for free through the ‘Sonos Library’ feature. or..
4. Put own music on Network NAS/USB drive and play all for free through the ‘Sonos Library’ feature.

Just 4 things from quite long list of things, that could be used as an alternative.

😱

android OS COULD make it work on their
phones with SONOS

but development couldn't muster up the
talent to make it work from an iphone

4 shame...

Totally misguided comment. Android OS required no change. Sonos changed nothing on the Android app. IOS changed. Please pay attention.

SInce you are such an obvious wealth of SE talent, why don't you tell us how to do it on iOS? Please supply detailed code samples.

thanks john B for that bit of info
so,...apple makes a change. doesnt affect android os/ phones; but kills iphone local music play functionality on your existing sonos players.

imo- still doesnt make any sense to your installed base.

sorry jgate, not gonna take your bait

by your own admission -
“This is not Sonos' doing, a change in iOS caused the feature to become unstable. They have tried for much of a year to fix it, but were unable to do so“

so what did android os do right here?
