Nothing please do not create your version system apps.

Google apps are enough. Why do you want another calculator app or gallery app. This is the problem it creates. Now companies like Nothing, Oneplus, Samsung h...

Custom apps over Google apps are bloatware. And if you can’t remove them even worse.

Anchorman Thank you, finally someone gets it. 🤝

hexagonal707x Delete this sh!t dawg. Google’s dialer, clock, Photos apps etc suck and look out-of-place in NothingOS.

𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐨𝐥 By your logic,

To ruin your day more,

wait 🤯.. Instagram looks out of place, Snapchat looks out place, Facebook looks out of place, your banking app looks out of place. What will you do about it then.. tell Nothing to create their version of those apps? From this, one thing is very clear, you have definitely not come from a stock Android experience before. That’s for sure. 😂

What was your previous phone?

hexagonal707x They aren’t smartphone manufacturers or OS developers. You aren’t comparing apples to apples. Speaking of Apple, looks at the company. They shine coz of their OS and apps. So what’s the harm if say Nothing had 10 strong native apps in their design and functions for their smartphones?

𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐨𝐥

hexagonal707x That’s a flawed comparison. No one’s talking about third-party apps here. Take Samsung or Apple or even OnePlus’ example. All their native apps (Phone, Gallery, Clock, Calculator, Messages etc) have a coherent design language.

hexagonal707x

Ali Fakhruddin Then there will be duplicate apps, since we already have apps for it and this company will soon turn into OnePlus.

Ali Fakhruddin Speaking of Apple, even I like Apple, no doubt about it. Apple can create whatever they want because they only have to take care of their devices. They have the hardware and software full control in and out.

Play Store is by Google. So what you gonna change that too or what?. You want a Nothing store?. Android is already a fragmented OS. Don’t add more bloatware into it. 🙏🏻

Google apps are streamlined and gets update faster. I don’t have to wait for Nothing to update it. Don’t try to fix something that is not broken.

I have nothing against Nothing styled apps fyi. But once you get it. Will they make the Google apps uninstallable. That’s the big ?.

Or it will create duplicate apps.

They should definitely have Google contacts sync in their contacts/ dialer app or it’s not worth it at all.

adbo Absolutely!!!💯 We all users want a Nothing-styled Gallery app, Calculator app, Dialer app, Notes app and last but not least Message app which would be a game changer for the Nothing ecosystem.

Being a UI/UX designer, tbh Nothing UI is one the best User interfaces in the entire smartphone industry, no other smartphone brands are close to it not even Apple or Samsung ( too much customization available but not optimised well ).

Nothing UI fluidity is unmatched 👏, I hope we will experience such creative apps in our Nothing Phone soon🤞

Tush_Jagtap Nothing UI fluidity is unmatched 👏

If Nothing UI appears to be fluid, fine. But I see no potential to call them benchmark. Probably a matter of opinion. The main thing is that they first take care of existing weak points before starting developing more native apps. Nobody needs a second “Nothing Chats”.

Ali Fakhruddin So if the company can, why not?

If… but they obviously can’t at present. It will be interesting to see if and when nothing will also increasingly focus on its own apps

Ali Fakhruddin

hexagonal707x If everyone thought the same, we won’t have any innovations left. As far as I remember Nothings vision is to make tech fun again. And looking at Android in general it’s become quite boring. So if they can, then they should. I personally hate Google products so I don’t chip in to that.

hexagonal707x

Ali Fakhruddin I’m not saying to not Innovate. Did I ever had a problem with Nothing widgets or Nothing X app? NO.

I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T INTERFERE WITH THE ALREADY INSTALLED APPS. THEY ONLY ADDED TO THE EXPERIENCE.

Ali Fakhruddin

hexagonal707x Almost 90% of Nothing users are craving for Native apps. So if the company can, why not?

hexagonal707x

Ali Fakhruddin

The problem starts here..

Example: OnePlus File Manager and Files from Google and other apps

When OnePlus started introducing their own apps while there was already equivalent Google apps.

“THEY NEVER MADE THE GOOGLE APPS UNINSTALLABLE , SO YOU ARE NOW STUCK WITH TWO APPS THAT DO THE SAME THING. HENCE DUPLICATE APPS.”

Now imagine lots of duplicate apps like this.

Do you get my point now? 🤷🏻

I have nothing against Nothing styled apps fyi. But once you get it. Will they make the Google apps uninstallable. That’s the big ?.

I have no problem using Nothing styled apps provided for example Nothing gallery app, if they have Google photos Integration, iCloud integration (No iPhone user is ready to switch to Nothing OS if Nothing’s Gallery app doesn’t have iCloud integration to retrieve photos from iCloud)

iPhone users are trying out Nothing OS because all of their data from apple can be transferred to Google apps seamlessly.

Now imagine there was no Google Photos and Nothing Gallery had no iCloud integration. They have to do all that manually now. You get what I’m saying.

Again I’m telling, I have no problem using Nothing styled apps. It should work just as seamlessly as Google apps and equivalent uninstallable Google apps that you’re going to replace with Nothing Styled apps. 🤷🏻

Ali Fakhruddin

hexagonal707x That’s my point exactly. If Nothing can maintain that consistency of supporting the apps and all of the major integration, then there’s no problem. I am an ex iOS user and using Nothing P2 at the moment. For me the transition was easy coz everything was connected to Google. So I get what you mean. Hence I’m saying if they CAN, there’s no harm. But ? Is Will they?

hexagonal707x

Ali Fakhruddin 🤝 That’s what I’m trying to say too. WILL THEY?

Ali Fakhruddin

hexagonal707x Well in the meantime my team is on a mission to fulfil that.

hexagonal707x

𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐨𝐥 Man I have no problems with Nothing Apps. You all will be the same people who are going to complain when Nothing doesn’t update their system apps in the future. Just saying 🤷🏻.

Google apps get updates frequently.

Watch everyone coming back to Google Photos 😂😂
