Sonos has introduced a new feature called Live Activities for iPhone users. This update, part of the latest Sonos app release on iOS, has been anticipated for some time. Live Activities provide an immersive experience, appearing after playback starts and vanishing after 15 minutes when the audio stops. They display the current room or group played from and can be viewed on the lock screen, though playback adjustments necessitate unlocking the iPhone with a Face ID or Passcode.

This addition comes on the heels of Bloomberg's February report about Sonos' plans to integrate Live Activities. For those interested in expanding their Sonos ecosystem, the Move 2 is currently available at a discounted price on Amazon.
