Sonos today rolled out a fix for a bug in the Sonos app that was causing significant battery drain on iPhone and iPad. If you’re having issues with battery life and are a Sonos user, you may want to install the update ASAP.

Sonos community manager Keith Nieves confirmed the bug fix on Reddit (via Edge), stating that the latest version of the app fixes an unspecified issue that was causing excessive battery drain on some Apple devices. Over the past week, there have been several complaints about the app’s battery drain because the Sonos app was constantly running in the background.

Unfortunately, several Reddit users have since reported issues with the update, which appears to cause a “System not found” error message. This is a bug that existed before, but the update seems to have increased the frequency of the error. Other users have had to re-add their speakers to the Sonos app.

Sonos has committed to delivering biweekly updates to its iOS app in an effort to fix a poorly received design overhaul. In May, Sonos introduced a redesigned app for iPhone and iPad that was intended to provide a more personalized and customizable experience, but it came with a few bugs and also removed key features that Sonos customers rely on.

Sonos users have been unhappy with the app, and last week Sonos CEO Patrick Spence issued an apology and outlined the updates Sonos will be rolling out over the next few months. The music library setup is set to return in August, while UI improvements and system stability will be discussed in September.

September will also see improved alert consistency, and in October Sonos will reintroduce the playlist and queue editing mode.
