Nothing Gallery 2.0 Update Brings Powerful New Editing Features
Nothing has released a major new update for the Nothing Gallery app, and it brings one of the most requested features — a built-in photo and video editor. With this update, users can now edit their photos and videos directly inside the Gallery app, without needing to use any third-party apps.
This new editor comes with a variety of useful tools. For photo editing, you now get options like crop, rotate, flip, and resize. There are also advanced settings such as exposure, contrast, vibrance, saturation, highlights, shadows, warmth, tint, sharpness, and more. Users can fine-tune their images using 12 different adjustment tools, making it easier to get the perfect look.
Nothing has also added 10 new filters to the app, including styles like Natural, Warm, Cold, Noir, Black & White, and Negative. The best part is that each filter comes with a custom intensity slider, allowing users to control how strong the effect appears on their photos.
Video editing is now supported too. You can trim video clips, adjust volume levels, and even control the speed of slow-motion videos. This makes it a complete solution for basic video edits directly from the Gallery app itself.
The user interface has also received improvements. Albums now appear in a grid view, and the font and layout across the app look cleaner and more modern. The update also changes the version of the app from 1.1.26.0606 to 2.0.9.0623, indicating a big upgrade.
However, the Gallery app is still not the default photo viewer after taking pictures on older Nothing devices. Even if you disable Google Photos, some phones may still struggle to open photos with the Gallery app. But this issue is expected to be fixed in the Nothing Phone (3), where Nothing Gallery will reportedly be set as the default.
Another small but important feature added is the smart categorization of photos and videos. The app will now automatically sort your media into categories like people, nature, or transport — but only when your phone is charging and not in use. This AI-powered feature is still rolling out and might not appear for everyone immediately.
Currently, there’s also a basic cut-out tool for images, which hints that more AI editing features may be added in future updates. For now, this update already brings a much better and smoother experience.
If you haven’t updated yet, just search for “Nothing Gallery” on the Google Play Store and update it to enjoy all these new features.

Nothing has teased another Pokémon on its official X account and Nothing Community, hinting that a new product could be on the way. This time, the company has shared Kingdra, Pokémon #230 in the National Pokédex.
Kingdra is a Water/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. The teaser features the Pokémon alongside a cryptic description about sleeping deep on the ocean floor to build energy and causing tornadoes when it wakes up.
What Could Nothing Be Launching Next?
Nothing has not revealed which product the new Pokémon teaser refers to. However, the company has previously used Pokémon-themed teasers to build anticipation for upcoming devices, making this latest post worth watching.
An audio product, such as new Nothing Ear earbuds or headphones, could be one possibility. A new smartphone or another product category cannot be ruled out either.
For now, the product name, specifications, pricing and launch date remain unknown. More details may emerge through future teasers from the company.

WhatsApp is testing a new shortcut that makes sharing Instagram Reels directly in chats easier. The feature adds a dedicated Reels button to the chat attachment menu, allowing users to quickly find and share Instagram content without navigating through multiple menus.
The feature was spotted in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.26.42.9 and is currently rolling out to some beta testers.
WhatsApp Adds a Dedicated Reels Button
Previously, users who linked their WhatsApp account to Meta’s Accounts Center could access Instagram Reels through the media picker. However, finding the option required opening the picker and selecting Instagram from the source list.
With the new shortcut, users can tap the Reels button directly from the chat attachment menu to open a dedicated interface for browsing and sharing content.
Recent, Saved and Liked Reels
The new interface includes three tabs:
- Recent: Reels recently watched on Instagram.
- Saved: Reels saved by the user.
- Liked: Reels liked by the user.
Users can browse these sections and select content to share in WhatsApp chats. The interface also reportedly provides access to posts.
Availability
The shortcut requires users to link their WhatsApp account to Meta’s Accounts Center. This integration remains optional, so users who prefer to keep their accounts separate can continue using WhatsApp without connecting them.
The feature is rolling out gradually to Android beta testers through the Google Play Store. WhatsApp has not yet announced when the dedicated Reels shortcut will become available to all users.
