- givinguflac 7y agoI don’t know about android, but ios13 doesn’t allow apps to see WiFi networks without location access. So, not Sonos’ choice.
- tinus_hn 7y agoWhy would the app need to see WiFi networks? Apps can’t connect to WiFi networks and if the speakers need to connect to them, they can see them themselves.
- givinguflac 7y agoYou clearly don’t understand Sonos. How do you expect the user to choose a WiFi network and enter the password on a speaker with no input or output besides audio?
- tinus_hn 7y agoIf the app can tell the speaker which WiFi network to use, it can also ask the speaker which networks it sees.
- givinguflac 7y agoAnd how would that matter if the user's device is not on the same network they set the speaker up on? You're describing a confusing and frustrating experience which would be a nightmare to help non-technical users with.
