Nothing OS Release Roadmap

Zac 🛸 · 2026-06-12T16:20:00+00:00

![](https://cdn.nothing.community/2026-06-12/1781281081-831748-nothingosrolloutjune12.jpg "banner") Hey Community, We’re making software updates easier to track. This post will be the place to check the latest status of Nothing OS rollouts, feature availability, and app-based updates across Nothing devices. We’ll keep it updated as rollouts progress and new information is ready to share. 👇 Down below you can find a list of FAQ’s along with brief descriptions of the various stages in software development. This also includes some tips on how to stay up to date on our software releases and feature rollouts. --- ## Current Nothing OS rollout status ### Nothing OS 4.0 ✅ Nothing OS 4.0 rollout is now complete for eligible devices. ### Nothing OS 4.1 ✅ Nothing OS 4.1 rollout is now complete for eligible devices. ## Why some features may arrive later, or only on certain devices Not every feature ships to every device at the same time. Some features introduced with Nothing OS 4.1 are currently available on selected devices first. This can happen due to hardware support, optimisation needs, stability testing, or the need to fine-tune the experience before expanding it further. Where possible, we’ll continue working to bring these features to more devices through upcoming updates, including: * Lock Screen clock face customisation * Lock Screen Depth Effect Wallpaper * Breathing Practice widget * Glyph Matrix breathing widget * Flip to Glyph improvements * Updated Nothing ecosystem icons for earbuds and headphones These features are planned to arrive on more devices (Phone (2), Phone (3), Phone (3a) Pro, Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Lite, Phone (2a) Plus, Phone (2a), CMF Phone 1, CMF Phone 2 Pro) starting end of June, with rollout timing varying by device. ## Essential Voice availability 🗣️ Essential Voice is currently available on selected devices, including Phone (3), Phone (4a) Pro, and Phone (4a). As the feature uses cloud-based processing, we’re continuing to evaluate performance, cost, scalability, and overall user experience before confirming wider availability. We’ll share more once we have a clearer timeline. ## App-based updates 📦 Some updates are delivered through the Google Play Store rather than a full Nothing OS rollout. This includes updates to apps and experiences such as Essential Space, Essential Search, Nothing Gallery, Nothing X, and other system apps. These updates may bring new features, improvements, and fixes outside of a major OS release. To make sure you receive them, you can update the apps manually through the Play Store or turn on automatic updates. ## Minor updates ⛏️ Minor updates are smaller releases between major Nothing OS versions. They usually include bug fixes, stability improvements, performance tuning, security updates, and smaller feature additions. In some cases, they may also bring selected features that were not ready in time for the previous major update. These updates may not always look huge on the surface, but they play an important role in making the overall experience smoother and more reliable. ## Firmware Updates bot 🤖 You can also follow our Firmware Updates bot to track the latest minor and major software updates. It posts changelogs for new firmware releases across Nothing and CMF devices, so you can quickly see what has changed, what has been fixed, and which devices are receiving updates. This includes system updates, app-related firmware updates, and audio or wearable product updates where relevant. You can view and discuss the latest changelogs here 👉 [Changelog Posts](https://nothing.community/t/firmware-updates?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ## Major updates take time A major software update is not just a version number. Before it reaches your device, teams across software, product, design, testing, operations, and support work through months of development, compatibility checks, issue fixing, optimisation, and staged rollout planning. That’s why timelines can sometimes shift. We’ll always aim to move fast, but we’ll also prioritise stability and user experience over rushing a release. You can read more about what goes into a major software update here 👉 [Inside a major NOS update](https://nothing.community/en/d/47051-inside-a-major-nothing-os-update) --- We’ll keep this post updated as current rollouts progress. Thanks for being patient with us, and for continuing to push us to be clearer, faster, and better. 👀 And yes, we’ve seen the recent Android 17 announcements. Nothing OS 5.0 is already taking shape. More when we’re ready.

lolifnotely🇮🇱 Nope. 4.2. 4.1 did months ago

lolifnotely🇮🇱

ghubtech ok,so..

Look at the roadmap and you can see, there’s no 4.2 update

Mausamshrestha

ghubtech Yes, the update released a month ago was version 4.1. The upcoming update is not version 4.2; it is still version 4.1, but it brings features like essential voice and the depth effect wallpaper which were only available on the Phone (4a) and (4a) Pro before, and now they are coming to other models as well.

Zac 🛸 Nothing OS 5.0 Feature Request & Bug Report

Subject: Feedback on Essential Space Glitches, Camera Focus Issues, and Lock Screen Gestures for Nothing OS 5.0

Hi Nothing Team,

I am a long-time user and supporter of the ecosystem. To make the Nothing OS 5.0 experience truly seamless and user-centric, I would like to report a few issues and suggest some practical features based on my daily usage:

1. Essential Space Optimization

Issue: I am experiencing persistent software glitches and stability issues while using Essential Space.
Request: Please focus on a completely stable, bug-free, and smoother integration for Essential Space in the upcoming OS update.

2. Camera: Advanced Manual Focus & Glyph Assistance for Macro Shots

Context: After a minor drop, my device’s hardware auto-focus has become unreliable, making macro photography nearly impossible.
Feature Request:
- Add a Manual Focus toggle specifically for Macro Mode.
- Implement Focus Peaking (highlighting the focused areas with red dots/lines) to ensure perfect sharpness manually.
- Allow the Glyph Interface (Glyph light) to be used as a soft fill-light specifically during Macro/Close-up shots for better illumination without harsh flash glare.

3. Lock Screen Gestures & Accidental Touches

Issue: Currently, “Double Tap to Turn Off Screen” works perfectly. However, because the screen wakes up with just a Single Tap, I constantly register accidental touches. My flashlight shortcut is placed in the bottom-left corner, and it turns on unintentionally in my pocket or hand, which is highly frustrating.
Feature Request:
- Please implement a “Double Tap to Wake” option alongside Double Tap to Sleep, replacing or disabling the single-tap wake trigger.
- Improve accidental touch prevention on the lock screen shortcuts (Flashlight/Camera) to prevent them from triggering with a single, unintentional tap.

Thank you for listening to the community and constantly improving the software experience. Looking forward to seeing these refinements in Nothing OS 5.0!

turkaslan Recommend sending official feedback via settings

lolifnotely🇮🇱 I’ve done this many times. Regarding Essential Space, they ultimately suggested resetting the phone. But I haven’t done that yet because it’s too much trouble.

So will get an update today for 3A series if I’m not wrong 🤔

JP

Anonymous1436 I’m thinking how nothing is going to manage updates for all devices in a week🤔 before it was 20-25 days

Anonymous1436

JP 🤔Hmm but they have done most of the things last time so it might be little easier now

JP

Anonymous1436 yup…but this will be the new regular update dates going forward.🤔😵‍💫

Anonymous1436

JP trueee 🥲 but let’s see which Devices will get an update today . We mostly gets update by 3:30 pm INDIAN TIME ? ?? 🤔

JP

Anonymous1436 yup. ..3.30 or 5.30🫠 it’s fun this time🤣 not a single assumption is correct 🤣🤣🤣 full of surprises 💀

Rehan

Anonymous1436 Yeah, I also think we might get the update today. Let’s see. Updates usually arrive around 4:30 PM Indian time. If we don’t get it today, then we’ll probably have to wait until June 29th or 30th.

Anonymous1436

JP 😂😂😂Trueee I’m loving it 😂

Rehan Truee but I think will get it by today cause it’s 2 month done when the last update was delivered soo it means mostly 3a series will receive it today

Rehan

Anonymous1436 Yeah, there’s a good chance today since the A Series received its last update on April 24, and today marks exactly two months. Let’s see if we get the update today

Anonymous1436

Rehan yupp

Actually have a question for @JP bro 🤔Do you think they will add video contrast adjust features in CMF devices as It was there in Phone 4a pro

JP

Anonymous1436 i don’t think so… it’s not mentioned in the roadmap discussion and i think they haven’t added that to phone 3 aswell… I’m not sure about phone 3… we have to ask phone 3 user for that

Anonymous1436

JP yess let’s see when the phone 3 will get it definitely it will be there in CMF. Or may be in NOS 5 they might give it

If Nothing is following its promised bi-monthly update schedule, then today should be the day for the Phone (2) update. Hoping to see the OTA roll out soon. 🤞

Spike

jamshi993 Give this a read. It should explain things more clearly. 🤝

https://nothingarchive.tech/docs/changelogs#-how-updates-work

Hopefully should also address the repeated concers regarding: “Hey, when is the next update coming? ” and randoms predicting dates out of nowhere 😅

JP

Anonymous1436 yup… I’m thinking the same.. they’ll give most of the new features in nos5..

PreetyYor

Spike

Next wed maybe,

jamshi993

Spike I didn’t start a new post or claim an official release date. I was simply sharing my guess in the comments. I know there’s no confirmed date yet, but the Nothing team mentioned the update is expected in the last week of June, so it’s natural to expect it around this time. Since this could be one of the last software updates for Phone (2), many of us are excited and looking forward to it. 😊

Arpan

Spike wow didn’t realise that the number meant the date and time, that’s really some interesting info
