Nothing has released Nothing OS 4.0 for the CMF Phone 1 and the Phone 2 Pro, based on Android 16. The update adds new features and introduces a community platform called Playground.

Users can now hide apps from the home screen and app drawer. Hidden apps appear in a separate section accessed through Home screen > App drawer > Hidden icons. The app drawer includes search scope management to filter results.

Widget improvements include more size options for Weather, Pedometer, and Screen Time. Quick Settings tiles now support 2×2 sizing for most functions. Pop-up view allows two floating icons for faster app switching between tasks.

The system includes app optimization to speed up startup times, located in Settings > Apps > App optimisation. Dual SIM users can set different ringtones for each SIM card.

Nothing introduces Playground (Alpha), a platform hosting community-created content like Essential Apps, Camera Presets, and EQ Profiles. Essential Apps (Alpha) are AI-powered applications built by the community. More information is available at playground.nothing.tech.

The visual refresh includes redesigned Nothing app icons and updated status bar icons. Two new lock screen clock faces are available in Customisation settings. Extra dark mode adds a deeper dark theme option through Settings > Display > Dark theme > Extra dark mode.

Camera updates bring changes to Presets with new default styles. Filters now have intensity adjustment and exclusive Stretch styles. Watermarks include new Nothing brand options and artistic frames.

Nothing recommends backing up photos, call logs, contacts, and other user data before installing the update.
