Separate app volume control

Hello, is it possible to dissociate the volume of the music application from that of a video? I want to listen to music at the same time as watching a video, but it is impossible to remove the volume of the video without removing the volume of the music. on my old samsung, it was possible to dissociate the 2. is there a tip or application for nothing? THANKS

Are there any future possibilities that these people will introduce an app specific volume feature in their os ; like color os and Oxygen OS. Well I don’t expect much from these modedit:redacted but is anyone working on this privately

Hello Nothing Phone Community,

I’m really enjoying my experience with the Nothing Phone so far—its unique design and smooth interface truly stand out. However, I wanted to suggest adding an app-specific sound control feature. In my previous phone (Motorola), I used this extensively, allowing me to individually control volume settings for each app, such as media, notifications, and alerts. This helped avoid distractions and made managing media sounds much easier.

Since switching to the Nothing Phone 3a, I’ve found it challenging without this feature. It would greatly enhance usability by providing more personalized control over app sounds and notifications.

I believe many other users would find this beneficial. I’d love to hear if others feel similarly, and perhaps we can catch the attention of the Nothing team to implement this in future updates.

Thank you!

Hello Nothing Team,

I’m a Nothing Phone (3a) user and I’d like to request the addition of a per-app volume control feature in Nothing OS.

On some other Android skins (e.g., MIUI on Xiaomi phones), users can set and control the volume of each app individually. This is extremely useful when:

Playing music in one app while watching videos or playing games in another.

Wanting notifications or calls at a lower volume but media at a higher level.

Managing Bluetooth speaker/headphone usage where different apps need different loudness.

Currently, Nothing OS only allows adjusting the global media volume, which makes multitasking less flexible. Many users (myself included) would love to see separate app volume sliders in the Sound & Vibration settings, or even a floating panel for quick control.

This would greatly enhance the audio experience on Nothing devices and align with user-friendly innovations that Nothing is known for.

I hope the team can consider this feature in future updates of Nothing OS.

Thank you for listening to community feedback!

barath_domain When I switched from Motorola to Nothing, this and the shake thing for activating the flashlight were features I realllly missed. It wouldn’t hurt to add for sure

pollenjh Same here, Miss the MULTI VOLUME feature the most. Even basic devices have that now. Hope they add this soon, it’s so soo IMPORTANT !!

Hello,

It’s been a week sinds I got my phone (3), my first nothing phone. I used to have a s23 and one major feature is missing on nothing os, a volume mixer to control the volume individually for each apps. I don’t know if I’m the only one who needs this feature but I think it’s necessary to implement this on nothing os.

ArC

Lazy_Tomate19 We all want this feature.. Requesting them to bring multi / seperate volume control feature soon

Hi Nothing/CMF Team,

I’m a big fan of the CMF Phone 1—love the clean Nothing OS, battery life, and affordable build quality. But I’ve hit a major pain point with the voice assistant integration that makes hands-free use unreliable, especially for quick tasks like setting timers or checking weather from across the room.

The Issue:

On my CMF Phone 1 (running Android 14/15), Google Assistant (now Gemini) responses are locked to the media volume level. There’s no separate slider for assistant audio in the volume panel or settings. When my media volume is low (e.g., during quiet YouTube or music playback), the assistant’s voice comes out too faint to hear clearly from a distance. This defeats the purpose of “Hey Google” for convenient, far-range commands— I often have to walk over to the phone to catch the response or crank up media volume temporarily, which interrupts everything.

On other Android devices (like Pixels or Samsungs), there’s a dedicated “Assistant” or “Gemini Voice” slider that pops up in the expanded volume menu, allowing independent control. Why isn’t this available on CMF? It’s a standard Android feature that should be enabled by default.

Impact:

Hands-free reliability drops in real scenarios (kitchen, car, office).

Workarounds like voice commands (“Hey Google, louder”) only work mid-response and reset after. Third-party apps (e.g., Volume Control) help but feel like a band-aid and add bloat to your lightweight OS.

Requested Fix:

Please add a native separate volume control for Assistant/Gemini in the next Nothing OS update (e.g., Android 15 or 16). It could be as simple as enabling the hidden “AI Assistant” slider in Sound settings or the expanded volume panel. This would make CMF stand out for smart home/office use.

I’ve seen similar complaints on the Nothing Community (e.g., voice assistant volume threads for CMF Phone 2 Pro and Watch Pro 2), so I’m not alone—let’s prioritize this for better user experience!

Thanks for building great hardware—excited for your response or updates.
