Nothing, Phone 2 Update Features
Nothing stated in a post on X (previously Twitter) that the Phone 2 would receive a new Nothing OS upgrade. The upgrade allows users to use Privacy Space, which hides and secures apps like banking, finance, dating, and social networking, as well as sensitive data, from unwanted scrutiny.

Time to update.

Here’s what’s new.

Users may turn on this functionality by swiping right in the app drawer. It may be accessed by using a different password than the App Locker, allowing them to totally conceal its presence. Privacy Space is based on Google's Private Space functionality, which debuted with Android 15. In December 2024, the device received the Android 15-based Nothing OS 3.0 upgrade, although this functionality was not included.

With the most recent Nothing OS version, the business also published the native Nothing Gallery app, which includes sophisticated search and better editing capabilities such as filters, markup, and recommendations. Users may also utilize the touch feedback setting in Settings to eliminate face unlock vibration for the lock screen.

In addition to these capabilities, the update also includes speed and stability enhancements. The launcher animations have been optimized for speedier app start times. Furthermore, the corporation is stated to have stabilized cellular network connections, as well as improved Wi-Fi and system stability for greater connectivity. Nothing indicates it improves the accessibility experience for both the Status Bar and the Notification Center.

The upgrade also incorporates the most recent May 2025 security patch.
