Sonos 27.1 FAQ

# Sonos 27.1 FAQ Quick answers to the questions people are actually asking about the Sonos 27.1 update. ## Is Sonos 27.1 out? Yes — it started rolling out around October 6–7, 2026. App updates roll out in waves, so it may take a day or two to reach your phone. ## What's new in Sonos 27.1? Two verified changes: your playback queue now survives switching to radio or TV (previously it was wiped), and the virtual volume knob — the two-finger-twist gesture — is now available on Android as well as iPhone. [Full details on what's new](/posts/sonos-271-whats-new). ## How do I update to Sonos 27.1? Open the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android), check for updates, and install the latest Sonos app. [Step-by-step instructions for both platforms](/posts/sonos-271-whats-new), including what to do if the update isn't showing yet. ## The update isn't showing up. What should I do? Wait a day — staged rollouts are the most common cause. If it's been several days, try refreshing your store's update list, restarting your phone, and checking your available storage.

Your queue now persists when you switch to a radio station or TV input. [How the queue fix works](/posts/sonos-271-queue-fix). ## How does the virtual volume knob work? Place two fingers on the screen and twist, like turning a physical dial. It arrived on iPhone with Sonos 27 and comes to Android with 27.1.

None verified so far. The release is only a few days old, so it's early — but nothing has surfaced in community forums or press coverage. ## Do I need new hardware for 27.1? No. It's an app update, not a hardware change. ## What's coming after 27.1? Sonos has announced Presets, a Sonos 27 voice assistant, and system health views further down the roadmap.
