Hello Richard, I updated the Sonos app on our iPad and while it's far from good, I did not have any issues swiping to and activating buttons like Account Info, System Info. It was late last night so I only spend maybe 5 minutes with it and I certainly wouldn't want it on my iPhone 13 Pro which I use as my primary device, but like I said, some of these things worked fine for me without screen recognition. I have yet to ask a sighted person to tell me what they see and how it all interacts with Voiceover. Let's hope Sonos will implement an initial round of Voiceover improvements in 2 weeks as they mentioned in some post I read. If they say this and don't do it then this would truly be not a good sign.

The update to Sonos app is a complete sh*t show! It kind of works with Screen Recognition turned on, but not anywhere as good as before. Without Screen Recognition it is useless. I had my sighted wife look at it and without Screen Recognition, many things that VoiceOver will speak if you swipe to it, is not visible on the screen. And, as I think Jonathan Mosen had mentioned, double tapping on the Your System button does nothing. And, if my wife touched where it shows Your system button, VoiceOver says nothing. If I then swipe with one finger, it lands on the Your System Button, but again, it doesn’t activate. I will do more exploring with the Screen Recognition on, but unless you want a totally frustrating experience, don’t update. I updated on my iPad Mini 6 which I seldom use with Sonos. I won’t be touching the update on my phone. Richard, USA "It's no great honor to be blind, but it's more than a nuisance and less than a disaster.
