The software version also offers lock screen shortcut customisations for the camera, torch, device control, and wallet. There are also visual upgrades like a new media control interface, new volume controls, live captions, and smoother animations.
Nothing says that the Nothing OS 1.5 version brings a 50 percent increase in app loading speed, quick network settings panel, and closing active background apps from the notification centre. The update introduces a new QR code scanner in the quick settings and camera app to make it more accessible.
Lastly, the latest software version comes with a personal safety app and a new ‘self repair feature’ to have the phone optimise its own memory consumption.
