Nothing fans, it’s time to speak up.

The company that once stood against bloatware and promised a clean, distraction-free Android experience has just announced ads and bloatware on their devices. It’s a slap in the face to the community that trusted and supported them. But it’s not too late to make a difference. Let’s come together and tell Nothing to #RollItBack. Sign the petition below and show that we won’t stay silent. Every signature counts….. And also, people who would say "petitions don't work"… im just trying to show how many people agree with me and are infurated as loyal consumers. 👉 https://c.org/sMMWQ5qBYK To the team at Nothing — the community still believes in you. Take a step back, listen to your users, and prove that transparency and trust still matter. We’ll be here, ready to forgive and move forward together. ❤️ \#RollItBack \--- Note for mods: This post isn’t self-promotion or advertising — it’s a genuine community effort. Please don’t merge it into another post.

I'll say do whatever you want with your upcoming devices but in the existing devices if you can't add anything useful don't add anything.

Følius ⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿ Bro, look… everyone talkin’ like “Nothing sold out” just ’cause they add few 3rd-party apps. But be real — this is 2025, not charity season 💸. Every brand need revenue flow to keep prices low n still drop 🔥 features. If a lil collab or sponsored app helps Nothing give us flagship-level display, chipset n camera at mid price — that’s smart biz, not betrayal. U can always uninstall what u don’t need. No one forcing u. We all want clean UI, yeah, but we also want performance, design, and updates — those cost money. So if adding few extra apps help them earn instead of hiking phone price ₹10k+, that’s a win-win.

So instead of crying “#RollItBack,” think real — companies need to sustain, not just survive. I’d rather skip a preloaded app than pay more for same phone. Facts. 🔥📱

AbsoluteRainbow we're already trying our best… we just need more support from the community (like X posts etc)

Yeah i get it…. Yeah ever pre install deal is not evil, it's thw buisness reality, but… The issue isn’t “one or two uninstallable apps.” It’s the precedent. It’s the slow creep from “opt-in” → “default” → “non-removable” → “ad service baked into OS.” that's EXACTLY how a bloatware free blah blah types of brand spiraled into bloatware. And also… literally have Meta Services, and a two or one more that can’t be removed — only disabled. That’s not “optional.” nor "opt in" we're getting the signs early.

Følius ⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿ to be honest there is one or two apps I think that should be included if any and that is for example Netflix as pre-installed i think is an exception since to use hdr on Netflix typically phones have to come with it pre installed

AbiS_MjZL72iTVk hey, the lock glimpse is off by default. In the initial setup, you are given option to enable it or not, Ok. So dont say its enabled. Just do some research before talking. And also they need money to innovate, so don't think everything is given to user at lower price and expecting them to buy the phone. The Phone 3 a lite is cheaper product and thus this strategy was used. Because cheaper product sells better and when they add somewhat (1 or 2 adware + bloatware) to get some losses covered you cry. And logic may be trash to you, but as a business perspective its appropriate.

DestructiveGMR Again, I struggle to communicate with that user as they are often factually incorrect as is the case here.

AbiS_MjZL72iTVk

CMF1_hacker OK , I may be wrong with facts here , but definitely not wrong with ideology like you .

You once told me ,when i complained about Worse camera processing in NP2 , to use Gcam instead of the Stock one !!

I pay the money for the software support too , but I can't complain about the supportlessness , only shoud use other camera apks . And is that correct.

Is being wrong with facts worse than this ?

After all , Nothing is wrong with not just facts ,but STATEMENTS … " No bloatware" And you are happy to accept it .And the trouble part is persuading everyone to accept it !!!

CMF1_hacker

AbiS_MjZL72iTVk being incorrect with facts is a problem with a select subset of users that reduces their overall credibility, as significantly diminishes the quality of the forum as a resource.

This is the most recent post and totally useless.

The overall quality of the community as a resource has significantly decreased due to incorrect information and low-/no-content posts such as the one above.

AbiS_MjZL72iTVk

CMF1_hacker Ok I agree , something is wrong in the community , BUT Is everything going in the right way with the brand ?
