Nothing OS 4.0 is being offered to users starting with the Nothing Phone (3) model. It is built on Android 16 and comes with various improvements for a smarter user experience.
Among the offerings are Live Updates via Glyph Interface which displays real-time information such as travel, shipping and timers directly on the screen as well as Glyph lights. Next, Extra Dark Mode provides a darker and energy-saving interface with initial support for native applications such as Essential Space and Launcher. Interaction Animations make every movement smoother through Haptic Feedback, more responsive application opening and closing animations.
Nothing OS 4.0 also adds new 1×1 and 2×1 widget size options for Weather, Pedometer and Screen Time to help users build a balanced layout. In addition, Pop-up View allows two floating applications to be opened simultaneously and controlled with simple gestures while Hidden Icons gives the freedom to hide applications from the App Drawer.
For Phone (3) users, Nothing OS 4.0 offers exclusive features such as improved Flip to Glyph controls, improved Pocket Mode, and new Glyph Toys including Hourglass and Lunar Cycle. Additionally, Glyph Mirror Selfie allows the original photo to be saved as an addition to the gallery.
This update is rolling out to Phone (3) first and will be expanded to Nothing and other CMF devices in the near future.
