Using Sonos with unsupported operating systems

This article provides information about operating systems that are not supported by Sonos. If you're using an unsupported operating system (OS), you may see the in-app message: "Your mobile device's OS doesn't support all app features."

For a list of fully supported OS versions, see our system requirements article.

If you use Sonos on one of the operating system versions listed below, your Sonos app will not receive updates but can still be used to control commonly used features of Sonos.


Unsupported operating systems

The following OS versions are no longer supported, but still work with basic Sonos features like browsing music and controlling playback:

Sonos app (version 16.1 or earlier)

  • iOS 14, 15, and 16
  • iPadOS 14 and 15
  • Android 7, 8, and 9
  • Fire OS 6
  • Windows 7

Sonos S1 Controller app

  • iOS 10 and 11
  • Android 5, 6, and 7*
  • Fire OS 5 and 6

If your OS is older than these versions, you will not be able to control Sonos from that device, and will need to update the OS or use a different device with a supported OS. For a list of fully supported OS versions, see our system requirements article.

*The Sonos Controller S1 app for Android 5 and 6 is no longer available in the Google Play Store. The app will still work with Sonos if it was previously downloaded to your device.
