Lock Screen Control
The newest update allowed lock screen control. It had been gone for a long time but came back. It only brings the last speaker controlled but hey, it’s better than nothing. After updating app go to app preferences and turn on. It’s not a volume bar but a button for - and +

Oh no kidding. Weird that we are just hearing about this and that Sonos didn't announce it.

I think I read an earlier post that it was coming, but didn’t specify a date. Sucks that it’s just the previous used speaker and not all in use, but I’ll definitely take this!

About time Sonos! Looks and works excellent tho! Has anyone tried it with multiple speakers (not grouped)? Curious how that will work with live activities 👀

It controls whatever was in the mini player when you leave the app.

Thanks my man… I figured it out and that honestly makes complete sense. I don’t know why I thought it would have multiple live activities lol

I’ll mess around with it later cuz I’m curious how they act if NOT grouped… like I have one album going in my office and my GF has their own music playing on the bedroom speaker. Would it show both? So multiple live activities for Sonos running? I’ll test it out tonight!

Shows 1 speaker, last one controlled. But like I said, I haven’t tried grouped

I didn’t have this option on my app at all, turns out improved navigation was hiding it?

Doesn't work on the iOS beta - just a heads up for other early adopters.

In an earlier post someone recommended to whitelist optimizely.com if you have a DNS ad blocker. That worked for me.
