What's New in Mobile MA

4.1

October 8, 2026

New in version 4.1 Scenes • Scenes now play playlists, podcasts and audiobooks too – with playback control per scene: Resume, Shuffle, In order or Newest episode. (Unlimited) • When a scene starts on this device, the app signs in the local player itself if needed. Mini player • On devices that can be switched on and off, the bar shows the power toggle while nothing is playing; during playback it shows “Next”. (iPhone) Playback • Large or smart playlists start without “Request timeout”: the app waits while the server is still preparing, tells you so – and play/pause stays usable meanwhile. • Title and artwork appear as soon as audio plays on this device, even if the server sends its update later. • An album is played or queued as a whole; queueing and “Add to playlist” no longer time out. • After a phone call, music on this device picks up exactly where the call came in – in CarPlay too. • Volume normalization and crossfade follow the queue as in Music Assistant 2.10: per player “Server default”, On or Off – and the app shows the actual state. Players • If your own iPhone is missing from the player picker, it now tells you why – with a button to turn it on or reconnect. • Local player also works with servers running under a custom hostname without encryption. • The Live Activity on the Lock Screen stays put instead of vanishing after two seconds. Library • An album opened from the artist view shows all its tracks – including those where single tracks are by other artists.

Great so far

I like this app so far. I went ahead and unlocked all the features and it has worked very well. My only disappointment so far is that it disconnects from the server if you put it in the background or let the screen lock.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and for unlocking Unlimited – that means a lot to a one-person project. About the disconnects: when Mobile MA only remote-controls your players, iOS suspends the app shortly after it goes to the background or the screen locks, and there's nothing an app can do to stay connected in that state. What we can do is reconnect as fast as possible when you come back, and that's an area we keep working on with every release. If you play music through the phone itself (the built-in local player), iOS keeps the app alive and the connection stays up. If reconnecting feels slow or unreliable for you, I'd love to hear the details – your Music Assistant version, whether you connect at home or remotely, and roughly how long the app was in the background. You can reach me at the support address on https://www.mobile-ma.app/en/support/. Thanks again for the feedback! Warm regards Sven
