    Couldn’t find the option. I did a reboot. Voila! It’s awesome 😎 It’s really great that Nothing community does a great job. And, Nothing Actually listens the feedback. Glad to a part of this community.

      I have a circle for searching works (phone 2a). It’s amazing. But my Voice Match assistant function does not work, it gives a message that this function is not supported in your phone. And when I wanted to find out the reason on YouTube, it wrote that it was because of data transfer via USB (but I think that is not a fact). When I bought this phone 2a and transferred data from my old phone to this phone via USB cable.

      I also changed the country and language thinking that it would work, but no. Does anyone have a solution?

      Thanks in advance.
