Here are the new features, improvements and fixes for Nothing Phone (1).

ChatGPT integration

After installing the Nothing OS 2.5.5 update on your phone, you'll have to download ChatGPT from the Play Store. It adds a new gesture option in the Nothing X app that lets you start a voice conversation with ChatGPT. It's currently working with Nothing Ear and Ear (a), and more Nothing audio products will be added soon. This update also adds new ChatGPT widgets, and a button on the screenshot and clipboard pop-up to directly paste content to a new ChatGPT conversation.

New features

This update adds an option to apply the Nothing Pack Icon only to the Home Screen.
It also lets you scroll through pages on the Home Screen and hold app icons at the same time. So you can move the icons around and place them wherever you want.
There's now a custom option to enable/disable the QuickSetting swipe-down page on the lock screen interface. You can do this by going to Settings > Lock Screen and AOD > Quick Settings.
This update also adds new options to customise icons within the status bar by going to Settings > Display > Status bar.
There's now a RAM Booster feature that you'll have to turn on by going to Settings > System > RAM Booster.

Improvements and fixes

Nothing has integrated an AI-powered algorithm that should provide smarter lighting adjustments for auto-brightness.
The Quick Settings tiles have been reordered for improved accessibility, and new animations to its widgets have been added as well.
The response speed when toggling Bluetooth in Quick Settings should be faster now. The volume settings experience has been enhanced as well.
