The iPhone 14 is already compatible with one of the best Sonos speaker features.

Users of an iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro and a Sonos speaker can now customize one of the best features the brand includes with their audio hardware. A Reddit user confirmed that Sonos has begun making these models compatible with Trueplay.a parameter that measures how sound bounces off walls, furniture, or other objects in a room, so speakers distribute sound much more accurately.

Trueplay specifically uses the iPhone’s microphone to take appropriate measurements. However, Sonos should make this feature compatible with the above component of the respective models., and so far it hasn’t happened with the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro. The smartphones we remember were announced in early September; almost three months ago. The company also doesn’t seem to have officially confirmed compatibility. However, some users have found that this feature is already showing up in the Sonos app. They claim, yes, that for the appearance of the function they had to force quit the app, or even uninstall and reinstall it.

Sonos claims on its website that Trueplay “measure how sound bounces off walls, furniture and other surfaces in a room and set up your Sonos speaker to sound great everywhere”. So if you have an iPhone 14 and a compatible Sonos speaker, it’s a good idea to enable the feature. Yes, setting it up requires a series of steps and some patience as it is a process that takes approximately 3 minutes.

How to set up Trueplay on Sonos speakers with iPhone 14

To set up TruePlay on a Sonos speaker with an iPhone 14, you just need to access the company’s app, enter Settings, and then select System. Next, you need to select the previously configured speaker and, finally, click on Trueplay > Trueplay setup. The app will show you the steps you need to follow. Among them is the permission to use the microphone and move around the room so that the system can detect surfaces.

Sonos also offers a number of tips to help you fine-tune Trueplay for your iPhone 14 or other compatible model. One is to avoid noise such as voices, footsteps, etc. for the microphone to pick up the sound correctly. He also recommends covering “as much of the room as possible” during the measurement and, above all, “paying special attention” to the areas where you usually listen to music. On the other hand, the company asks not to change the speaker volume during setup, even if it is “high enough”.

It is important to note that Trueplay setup only needs to be done once.. So if you don’t have a compatible iPhone, you can ask a friend or family member for one. Don’t forget, of course, to exit the Sonos app after you’ve completed the setup.
