Nothing has begun globally rolling out a new software update for its Nothing Phone 1. Nothing OS 2.0.4 offers a new photo widget while also redesigning numerous components of the interface. The update also includes an app drawer for hiding and organizing unwanted apps.
Nothing, led by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, is also addressing certain known bug fixes with its current release, such as the issue that causes lock screen widgets to not be displayed properly after restarting, as well as resolving other vulnerabilities.
On October 17, the UK brand announced the rollout of Nothing OS 2.0.4 for the Nothing Phone 1. The latest firmware update includes new features, upgrades, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
