Improved navigation and accessibility
One of the priorities of this update is to improve navigation within the app. Ergonomic and accessibility improvements are designed to make it more intuitive and easier to use for all, particularly the visually impaired. The responsiveness of the volume controls has been improved, offering more precise and immediate audio control. This applies in particular to group volume controls from the “Now Playing” screen on Android.
Album artwork for local libraries
Users with local music libraries will be delighted to note that album art is now correctly displayed in the app. This feature enriches the visual experience and makes it easier to navigate through your personal music collection.
Bringing the snooze function back
The ability to snooze an alarm directly from the app has been reintroduced. This feature, much appreciated by users, allows more flexible management of alarms without having to deactivate them completely. In addition, it is now possible to program an alarm reminder from the app.
This update of the Sonos app brings notable improvements in terms of navigation, accessibility and volume control, while reintroducing appreciated features such as the alarm snooze. Sonos is showing that it listens to its users and strives to continually improves their listening experience.
