establishing a petition to attempt to keep it operational.
While the speakers will cease to receive security and software updates, they remain partially functional. Bose indicates that users will still have access to several basic features, such as Bluetooth playback, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, and wired connections. Nevertheless, certain functionalities that Bose enthusiasts may have specifically opted for within the speaker ecosystem will no longer be accessible.
Bose has stated that preset buttons on all SoundTouch devices and within the SoundTouch app will be non-operational. Presets installed prior to the deactivation of cloud support in May may still be functional, although Bose does not guarantee this. Additionally, browsing or playing music services within the SoundTouch app will no longer be possible. Instead, users must initiate their playlists directly from Spotify, Apple Music, or a connected device. If your SoundTouch device is connected to a smart TV, it will continue to operate as designed. Lastly, Bose mentions that stereo pairing for SoundTouch 10 will no longer be operational now that cloud support has concluded.
