In 2024, Sonos rolled out an infamous update that rubbed a lot of its customers the wrong way\u2014and for good reason. Bugs in the new app caused people\u2019s home sound systems to stop working, which is bad enough on its own without factoring in the general contempt for the UI and removal of some features.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=941\">Pour One Out for Physical Media With a Library of Drool-Worthy Golden-Era Game Box Art<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There may be good news yet, though, even if it\u2019s taken years to get here: In a post on Reddit, Sonos says a new app update is incoming and that \u201cit\u2019s a big one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the major changes are some tweaks to UI, like new tab navigation with buttons that show what\u2019s selected. On top of that, Sonos says that Home, System, and Search are \u201ceasy to find\u201d and \u201ceasier to see what\u2019s selected.\u201d You\u2019ll have to choose this new tab navigation in the app. Sonos says to look for \u201cEnable Improved Navigation\u201d in the app settings.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Maybe more importantly, Sonos is rolling out better speaker sorting. With the new update, users can choose which order speakers show up in the app, meaning the system can now be sorted alphabetically, by what\u2019s most frequently used, and also by what\u2019s actively playing. You can also now pin speakers to the top.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=939\">No, the LCD Steam Deck Isn\u2019t Dying\u2026 Yet<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Additionally, iOS is getting a new volume interface, which, from firsthand experience, should be a welcome change to most people using Sonos speakers on an iPhone. The new volume slider version is dynamic (it gets bigger or smaller depending on where you set it) and is also more precise with the addition of numbers.<\/p>\n<p>It may not seem groundbreaking, but this is still arguably the biggest update to the Sonos app since the infamous rollout in 2024. Sonos says it\u2019s rolling out in phases, but it should be available to everyone in the next two weeks, and if you have automatic updates enabled, you don\u2019t have to do anything to download it. Here\u2019s to hoping this one is a bit smoother than Sonos updates of yore.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/longhaulmovingpros.com\/?p=937\">A South Korean Labor Union Is in Revolt Over Robots, or Maybe It\u2019s Surrendering to Them<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New tab navigation and other UI tweaks will most likely be a welcome upgrade for anyone still in the Sonos ecosystem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gadgets"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
