“Added power-off password verification to prevent immediate power-off if your phone is lost. Path: Search ‘Power off verify’ in Settings.”

🤩 Great improvement in security!!

  • (Edited)

I just received an update on my CMF Phone 1 (V3.0-250208-2015), and it includes a crucial security feature that Nothing devices previously lacked.

Earlier, anyone could power off your phone directly from the lock screen, which posed a security risk. But with this latest update, Nothing has added the ‘Power-off Password Verification’ feature. Now, your lock screen password is required to switch off or restart your device. This is a major security improvement, don’t you think?

How to Enable This Feature:

📍 Settings → Special Features → Power Off Verify → Enable

That’s it! You’re all set.

I also checked for the Circle to Search feature to see if it was included, but unfortunately, Nothing hasn’t added it to their budget champ just yet. Hopefully, CMF Phone 1 will get Circle to Search in the near future. Fingers crossed! 🤞

    Firmware (bot) When will the new feature (power-off password verification) be added to other devices as well– specifically the 2a plus?

    Awesome.
