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
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.

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.
