Nothing OS 3.0 is the company’s take on Android 15. The British consumer electronics manufacturer, Nothing, already released the update for Nothing Phone 2 and Phone 2a. Now the company extends the availability of stable Nothing OS 3.0 to Nothing Phone 2a Plus.

Nothing Phone 2a Plus is receiving its first major OS upgrade with a V3.0-241226-1537 build number. It is a big upgrade and requires 1.8GB of data for download, so make sure to use WiFi for the download.

Nothing OS 3.0 is a massive upgrade for the compatible Nothing devices. The skin brings easy-to-read font, simplified settings interface, redesigned notifications and quick settings panel, new customization options for lock screen, AI-powered app drawer, new widget picker, new pop-up view, camera improvements, and more.

Shared Widgets

Use widgets to link up with friends and family. See another person’s widgets displayed on your home screen and interact with each other through reactions. A new way to stay connected.

Shared Widgets are currently only supported between Nothing devices. And only Photo Widgets (square) can be shared. We are rapidly developing support for other widgets, so stay tuned!

Notes: As Shared Widgets are in beta, you might encounter some issues. We appreciate your patience as we work to enhance your experience.

Lock screen

  • Introduced new lock screen customisation page. Access by long-pressing the lock screen or via the Customisation page.
  • Choose from a range of new Clock face styles.
  • Expanded widget space, allowing you to place more widgets on your lock screen.

New app drawer style

  • Added Al-powered Smart Drawer to automatically categorise your apps into folders, keeping your app drawer organised and making apps easy to find.
  • Now you can pin your favourite apps to the top of the app drawer for quick access to your favourite apps.

Enhanced pop-up view

  • Drag the pop-up view to any position on the screen, for convenient multitasking.
  • Easily resize the pop-up view by dragging the bottom corners.
  • Pin the pop-up view on the screen edge, for speedy access.
  • Swipe down incoming notifications to enter the pop-up view. Allows you to quickly view information without leaving your current app. Enable via Settings > Special features > Pop-up view.

  • Improved the lock screen charging status display to help you easily know the charging speed at a glance.
  • Added support for auto-archive function. Automatically frees up storage space without removing apps or data from your device.

  • Updated setup wizard to version 3.0 for a smoother introduction.
  • Enabled predictive back animations for apps that have opted in.
