TL;DR
- Earlier this week, a Phone 3 owner shared a screenshot of a response from the Nothing support team that stated the company “temporarily halted” the rollout of Nothing OS 4.0 to implement an “urgent fix.”
- A spokesperson for the company says that it uses a phased rollout for major updates to identify optimizations, which are often related to third-party apps.
- The spokesperson states that an optimization was identified and that the rollout across all devices is “progressing as planned.”
Nothing OS 4.0 began rolling out to the Phone 3 on November 21 and days later to the Phone 2, Phone 2a, Phone 2a Plus, Phone 3a, and Phone 3a Pro. Despite the rollout starting last month, many Nothing Phone owners claim that they have yet to receive the Android 16 skin. After a screenshot of an exchange with Nothing’s support team was shared online, it was believed that the update had been pulled. Now Nothing has offered an official statement on the status of the rollout.
