  • Nothing OS 2.0 comes to Phone (1)

Phone (1) users, we see you. It’s your turn now.

As of 28 August, we have started rolling out Nothing OS 2.0 to your devices. Packed with exciting new features, enhanced customisation, and improved functionality. A new chapter for our first smartphone to market.

It’s coming gradually, so all users will receive the update within the next few days. Here’s what Nothing OS 2.0 for Phone (1) includes:

Home screen customisation

  • Upgraded visual identity that feels unmistakably Nothing.

  • Updated launcher grid layout, supporting the option to hide icon labels.

  • More customisation options for folders including different layouts and covers.

Nothing widgets

  • Updated designs for the following widgets: Clock, Weather, Quick Look.

  • New Quick Settings widget, allowing you to access settings even quicker.

  • Widgets are now available on the lockscreen and AOD.

Glyph Interface

  • New Essential Glyph Notifications mean you never miss what matters most. Assign selected apps and contacts as essential so that when you receive a notification, a persistent Glyph will shine while the device is locked. That means you’ll know at a glance if you have any important missed notifications.

  • Glyph Torch. Long press the Torch Quick Settings tile to light up the entire Glyph Interface.

New app features

  • Cloned apps allow you to operate multiple accounts in the same app without having to log out.

  • App Locker lets you protect your apps by adding an extra level of security when you go to open them.

Other improvements

  • Updated auto brightness.

  • Many, many general improvements to optimise your overall Phone (1) experience.

We hope you love your new software.* To upgrade to Nothing OS 2.0, just head to Settings > System > System Update.

  • To update: earlier this week, we started to roll out NOS 2.0 to Phone (1), executing a more staggered roll-out across regions so we can address any issues that may arise in the process and deliver the best user experience. We’ve seen your feedback and thank you for your patience as we continuously work to refine our software and do right by our community.

          I am on Android 14 Beta 1, how can I install Nothing OS 2.0??

          Rob ⚡️ Still waiting for the roll out, can’t wait to see it!

            AhmedImtiazImon Hey, as usual, this release rollout is gradual and you should get it in the next few days.

              Australia- still havent got it but question, if you flashed to Android 14 beta then rolled back (as per on Nothing Newsroom links), will we need a manual OTA or should updates come through automatically?

              Just worried the rollback flash wasnt tested for the update notification .

                lilmeh_3LjZEMSb42 They should come automatically via OTA, you didn’t get it yet because it’s still in rollout stages and will be available in the next few days.

                  Rob ⚡️ Design is super cool and performance been improved. Battery is draining more not sure due to customization or issue with new update. Lets use for few days. Keep up the good work Nothing team.
