A couple of months ago, Nothing, a new technology venture from OnePlus co-founder Carl Pie confirmed the brand’s upcoming Nothing Phone (1) smartphone. It was also revealed that the phone would be running the company’s own Nothing OS.
Nothing also decided to give users of select smartphones a glimpse of the upcoming Nothing OS through a custom launcher for Android phones, named Nothing Launcher, which is available for some smartphones in the Beta phase.
Now, the availability of Nothing Launcher is being expanded, and the application is now supporting all smartphones running the Android 11 or above version of the operating system. This is a wide range of supported apps compared to its previous support for only Pixel devices, OnePlus devices, and the Samsung Galaxy S21 lineup.
The updated version of the launcher comes with several minor tweaks, including the ability to quickly change the wallpaper with an on-screen pop-up, with a direct link to Nothing’s wallpapers and ringtones. There’s also a dedicated Nothing Launcher icon on the home screen with this update and a new set-up page upon the first launch.
Nothing Launcher includes several tweaks and tuning, including what the company refers to as “Max Icons” and “Max Folders,” allowing users to press and hold app icons or folders and increase the space taken on the home screen.
It also offers a series of unique wallpapers, weather, clock widgets, and ringtones but it lacks some of the features, like support for the Google Discover feed which is now becoming more commonplace on various OEM skins of Android.
