The revamped Sonos S2 app may launch on May 7

Sonos is reportedly set to launch its updated Sonos S2 app with some new features on May 7, 2024. A recent report from The Verge detailed the launch date and new features coming to the updated app. He further attached screenshots of the new Sonos S2 app in the report that hinted at a major UI overhaul.

The new features are making their way to the revamped Sonos S2 app via an update

The new features will be available as an app update to the Sonos S2 app first released in 2020. Now that we have the launch date, let’s discuss some detailed features. For starters, the updated Sonos S2 app will ditch the tabbed navigation coming from the previous version of the Sonos S2 app.

Now, you’ll find a new home experience with everything taking center stage. The new app’s home interface will be customizable, allowing you to reorder your favorite Spotify playlists and audio streaming platforms.

A new search bar has also made its way to the revamped app which will be available throughout the interface. Sonos has also updated the mini-player within the app with volume controls for better user convenience. Additionally, you’ll find a new Shuffle and Repeat button with the usual media control features on the new app’s “now playing” screen.

An updated setup screen will make pairing even smoother

That’s not all, the new Sonos app will feature a redesigned setup wizard. It will make the audio accessories setup process a breeze. Once you pair the audio device, you can access all the settings related to the speakers or soundbars from a collective Your System tab. Again, that’s a worthwhile addition considering the company is launching its first-ever wireless headphones this summer.

It’s not clear whether the app will feature the ‘S2’ tag or remove it altogether. Also, there’s no mention of whether the new Sonos S2 app update will be available first for Android or iOS. However, there’s a new Sonos logo featuring a black background with the company’s name in the foreground. Earlier, the backdrop used to feature the tan color.

Moreover, if you want to use the revamped version, install the app update whenever available. Users on iOS and Android can update the Sonos S2 app from the App Store and the Google Play Store, respectively.
