- The Sonos app is currently not available in the Apple App Store
- No change to Google Play: it’s still there
- Sonos has acknowledged the problem and is “working on a solution”
If you’re looking for the Sonos app for iOS, iPadOS or Mac, you’ll have to wait: it’s not there. The app is temporarily unavailable in Apple’s App Store for all three platforms.
Sonos is aware of the issue: In a status update, it says that “We have identified an issue with the availability of the Sonos app in the iOS/Mac App Stores and are working on a solution.”
So far the app has been unavailable for a few hours and we don’t yet know when it will return – we’ve reached out to Sonos for further clarification and will update if we hear back.
What’s wrong with the Sonos app?
The Sonus status page shows a clear sheet for almost everything except the Sonos account, which is currently marked with a red X to indicate a major error.
Sonos says that in addition to the app not being available for download, you may not be able to update it if it’s already installed on your system.
It’s clearly an outage rather than a deletion – the Sonos app is available for all the other platforms – so there’s no need to read the tea leaves on this one: an elastic band has snapped somewhere and Sonos is working on a fix. We will notify you as soon as there is an update.
That said, Sonos’ Mac app will disappear permanently at some point anyway — it’s not built for Apple Silicon, and Sonos says it has no plans to adapt it, instead moving all desktop users to its web interface anyway.
