Sonos adds iPhone lockscreen playback controls with Live Activities
TL;DR
Sonos’ latest iOS app update adds support for Apple’s Live Activities, letting iPhone users view basic playback details and control music or podcasts from the lockscreen after starting playback. Album art isn’t shown yet, and the feature must be enabled in both the Sonos app and iOS settings; it will disappear from the lockscreen 15 minutes after playback ends. The update also includes watchOS and CarPlay support, though those platforms don’t yet offer lockscreen controls. Sonos says it’s continuing to refine the feature and lock-screen experience.
