Hello,

In my opinion it is a bit unhandy to be basically forced to rely on Google Services on the Most Things. There arent Event simple Things Like a Gallery or notes and more, which would and should be normal to exist. So If Others people think the Same Here with me, i would concider adding These Basic Apps that are Not Google Apps

Thank you for Reading

Everyone bought or got a Nothing Phone knowing that it uses Google apps. There are plenty of free or paid apps for Android that you can download and install. Most forget it’s a near Virgin Google OS that’s why it has Google apps and services. Those that want Google products removed can always learn about how to Root their devices and proceed in removing Google and installing apps of their choice. Nothing is not a bloated device unlike many brand’s out there (Samsung, Honor, LG) comes to mind.

Still who knows what the future holds for us with Nothing and their OS and apps.

    Joe King Yes, what’s next for these people? Nothing pay to replace Google pay.. just because Samsung made Samsung Pay. If they want manufacturer suit of apps, plenty of options out there.. xiaomi (look at how many models per year), samsung, oppo, realme. The beauty of Nothing is the near virgin Google OS, just what made OnePlus stand out during it’s earlier days with Oxygen OS, before shifting to ColorOS. Now people wishing the same for Nothing. Why can’t they just go get OnePlus and leave Nothing as it is right.

      Like many we all have a choice knowing what you were getting or getting involved in. Once again an almost pure Android OS by Nothing. Nothing needs to concentrate on the current devices and their updates, fix camera issues, connection issues, audio issues but having said that Nothing are building their own apps. While I and my colleagues like/love the Nothing handsets, OS and dislike certain appsor functions from Google we decide to give Android users a choice.

      We currently have a dialing app on the market called N Dial and we are rebuild the current version from the bottom up to make it better than it currently is. In the pipeline so to speak we also have other apps that we’re currently working on as we felt we could give user’s something new and different but still have a choice to use Google app.

      Gallery, please gallery

      I really don’t like google photos or google gallery, a basic gallery app from nothing would be a gift for all users

        HAN10GU You say basic, but later people be expecting photoshop features lol. So nothing have to work more on gallery apps, and less on the OS and camera.

            Google also offer a free editing app - it’s called Snapseed (no, I don’t why they called it that). It may offer some of the editing functions people are looking for.

            Keseven What kind of nonsense is this? Why does iOS or even MIUI have a convenient beautiful gallery and Google has a slag, I don’t need any photoshop in galleries, syncing and the like. I just want a nice convenient gallery.

                1. MIUI gallery is beautiful? Seriously, you bought Nothing and enter Nothing community and say MIUI gallery is beautiful and when I disgreed, you said I’m saying nonsense? Really?
                2. Over a month ago, Carl Pei already confirmed gallery coming and yet here you are still asking the same thing again and again, don’t that sound nonsense?

                    Joe King I agree that it gives the pure Android experience but for me, I bought the nothing phone for the nothing OS experience. I got it for the minimal home, widgets, icons.

                    I could have bought pixel or Motorola for stock Google experience but I liked the nothing one.

                    I really appreciate that you guys have developed N dialer and are working on the apps so that we can have an option. I never say remove the Google apps but if we get the nothing apps, I’ll definitely use it over Google.

                    I actually want to get nothing default apps so that I can enjoy the nothing experience for some apps which I use daily like gallery, file manager and dialer.

                        Shubh Yes like wise I’m with you if Nothing did standalone apps this would give the Nothing Phone users and Android user a wider choice. There’s are plenty of good apps on the market but the whole experience with Nothing stock OS over much heavier bloated Android skinned OS is by far a better experience I believe. I think it won’t be to long before Nothing gives a vast range of apps to the market as there’s a demand for it. It’s all about choice and thanks for the support on our app.

                        There a good few things I would like to see changed in NOS but they are the default operation of the Google OS and not Nothing, here’s just one example the access from within the lockscreen where there access to various setting, huge security risk but thats how Google set up.

                        People like us that’s developing apps be it for Nothing device or just in general know there’s a demand some like it some don’t but having choice is key.

                          We need own Nothing brand Gallery, Music,File Manager apps….

                          Court This. Nothing - please for the love of god don’t go down this path.

                            Ali Fakhruddin Please don’t making it like google files. One issue i face with google files is, when i copy a media from one location to another location which already contains that same media, it just paste it without showing me “This media already exist”. So it will consume extra storage for no reason. I was a former huawei user and the file manager in huawei is awesome. It even shows the thumbnail of the two medias because names can be same. It was like windows file explorer. Can you discuss that please?
