Sony discontinues universal support app for dedicated alternatives

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Sony is discontinuing its universal Support by Sony app on February 28, 2027, moving towards a model of dedicated applications for its various product lines. While individual apps like Sony Sound Connect for audio, Sony BRAVIA Connect for TVs, and Sony Creators' App for cameras will offer more granular control and direct device interaction, users with multiple Sony products may find managing their devices less convenient.
