Sonos Rolls Out Major Android App Update: Enhanced Queue Management, New Features, and Prepares for New Product Releases
Sonos has just unveiled a new Android app update, version 80.09.06, bringing a host of improvements to its sound system management platform. This update not only refines the user experience but also sets the stage for the upcoming Sonos Arc Ultra and Sonos Sub 4, scheduled to launch on October 29th.
With enhanced queue management, voice command customization, and a new system update feature, the update promises to further elevate the experience for users integrating these exciting new products into their home theater setups.
Improved Queue Management for Greater Control
The key highlight of this update is the redesigned queue management system, providing users with enhanced control over their playlists. The ability to reorder, edit, or delete tracks within the queue is now simpler than ever, making it ideal for users who want to craft the perfect soundtrack for any moment.
This streamlined experience will be particularly useful when paired with the Sonos Arc Ultra, as users can easily manage the immersive soundscapes that the new soundbar delivers.
Customizable Voice Commands and Enhanced Music Library
The update also brings improvements to TalkBack, Sonos’ voice command functionality. With customizable voice settings now available, users can tailor their voice control preferences within the app, ensuring a more personalized and hands-free listening experience. For those planning to integrate the Sonos Sub 4 into their setup, this added flexibility in controlling their devices via voice will make managing larger, more powerful systems even more convenient.
For music enthusiasts with extensive collections, Sonos has also optimized the music library indexing, improving speed and reliability. This enhancement ensures that users will have faster access to their favorite tracks. Those planning to bring the Sonos Arc Ultra and Sub 4 into their homes will benefit from this improved feature, as the new products will effortlessly handle large music libraries, enhancing playback in larger spaces.
New System Update Scheduling and Seamless Integration with New Products
Sonos has introduced a useful new feature—System Update scheduling—allowing users to plan updates at convenient times. This ensures that system updates don’t interrupt listening sessions, especially crucial with the Sonos Arc Ultra and Sub 4 arriving soon. Both products will undoubtedly benefit from this smoother update process, keeping systems running at their best without affecting your home entertainment experience.
Phased Rollout Begins Ahead of New Product Releases
The Android app update is being rolled out in phases starting October 15th, ahead of the upcoming release of the Sonos Arc Ultra and Sonos Sub 4. This timely update ensures that the app will be fully optimized to support the new soundbar and subwoofer, making them even more intuitive and powerful for users. Once available, the update can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
On the iOS front, users recently received version 80.09.09, which focused on bug fixes and stability improvements, while Android users are getting access to more significant feature upgrades. iPhone users received the improved queue management back in September, with versions 80.09.07/80.09.08.
With this latest app update, Sonos is clearly laying the groundwork for its new products while enhancing its existing platform, ensuring a premium, seamless experience for all users. As the Sonos Arc Ultra and Sub 4 prepare to hit the market, these app improvements will make integrating these cutting-edge devices into your home theater a breeze.
