I don’t have a nothing phone, but my current phone doesn’t have a default gallery or decent file manager, so I had to look for some too.

For the gallery, I use Aves. I love it, it’s good, it’s open source, it’s modern and it works!

As for the file manager, the one that has worked best for me has been Fossify file manager.

Nothing is still small and is currently building up a bit. Some users should bring a little time and patience. Everyone started small. Patience is half the battle 😉

  1. Nothing Gallery app
  2. Nothing Sms app.
  3. Nothing dialer with Nothing theme based UI
  4. Nothing community app
  5. Nothing Sms with minimalistic approach
  6. Nothing file manager

I do like the stock Android approach but Google is not doing a great job with respect to gallery for sure. Google photos app and Google Gallery app really doesn’t suit the needs for preview. This needs immediate attention as day to day it’s difficult to use with this stock Android apps alone.

Cons for Google photos - Only can be considered for backup as at times we are not sure which is synced photo and utilising it as a gallery app is not a piece of cake.

Cons for Google photos - At times some photos disappear or doesn’t appear. Always the photos gets displayed with wrong sorting.

For now Aves gallery app is saving lives but still Nothing needs to do some quick action to sort this and also for file manager.

    Ash No, please let Nothing be clean and pure. It’s beauty, no bloatwares!

    So once you get all you asked in OS3, for Nothing OS 4, you’ll ask..
    Nothing Pay
    Nothing Cleaner
    Nothing Calculator
    Nothing Calendar
    Nothing Notes
    Nothing Browser
    Nothing GPT
    Nothing Search (like Google Lens also)
    Nothing Translator

    At that rate, it’ll be the same as like Oppo, Xiaomi, Realme, Samsung..

    Why Nothing in the first place? Because we liked the original OnePlus. Stock Android.

    Now you want Nothing to become OnePlus.. and make another ColorOS?

        Keseven Haha agreed. But Nothing gallery and Nothing file manager are must. Really hard to use Google products for these both

            Please provide our own Nothing File manager app , and gallery app

            arpan2308 Yes, who wants another colorOS why get Nothing OS which is meant to be the opposite right? What’s the point of Nothing then..

              Keseven I’d say file manager, gallery, notes and maybe even calculator (since the google one sucks) are a must , but I agree that everything else is just bloatware

                I was been using nothing phone 2 a for 5 days ,as there Is no gallery app in it I am struggling with photos since my Google photos storage is full unable to take any new pictures now .couldn’t able to select multiple images at a time to delete you need to select one by one . I feel samsung is better options there. When can I expect inbuild gallery app will provide by nothing.
