Nothing OS 5.0 introduces new Glyph Interface app and enhanced home screen customization
Nothing has released Nothing OS 5.0, an update based on Android 17 that brings a redesigned homescreen with adaptive color features pulled from wallpapers. The update also includes the launch of a dedicated Glyph Interface app for managing lighting controls and introduces new lockscreen clockfaces like 'Gooey' and 'Micrographics'. The OS upgrade is rolling out in open beta on August 26, starting with the Nothing Phone 3, but older models such as the Phone 1, Phone 2, and CMF Phone 1 will not receive it. The update also includes Android 17 features like enhanced quick share, new Noto 3D emojis, expanded dark mode support, and Essential AI improvements. Nothing OS 5.0 offers users more customization options with widgets that track phone usage time away from the device ('Away Time') and a 'Collector' widget for turning item photos into icons.
