Nothing OS 3.2 June Update for Phone (2a) Brings Private Space Fix and More
Nothing has released a new software update for its popular Phone (2a), upgrading it to Nothing OS 3.2. The update, which is around 247 MB in size, brings some useful improvements and fixes that many users have been waiting for. Until now, the Nothing OS 3.2 update had already reached other models like the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus and CMF Phone 1. Now, the Phone (2a) joins the list, while the upcoming Phone (3a) and Phone (2) still run on version 3.1.
One of the most important changes in this update is related to the Private Space feature. Many users had been facing problems because they forgot the password for Private Space. Earlier, there was no easy way to reset or delete it without resetting the whole phone. But with the Nothing OS 3.2 update, users can now use their lock screen PIN to delete or reset Private Space. This is a very helpful improvement that solves a major issue.
The update also brings the latest Android security patch dated June 1, 2025, which helps improve the phone’s overall safety. In addition, a bug related to Bluetooth earphones not working properly during Telegram calls has been fixed. This means users who had trouble connecting wireless audio devices during calls on Telegram should now find things working smoothly.
Another fix includes reducing high Wi-Fi power usage in certain rare cases. This will help prevent unnecessary battery drain when using Wi-Fi or sharing a hotspot. Along with these changes, the update also promises better system stability and performance, giving users a smoother experience during daily use.
After the update is installed, the phone might lag slightly for a few minutes, but it becomes stable shortly afterward. All major functions like calling, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and general app usage seem to be working well without any new issues.
Overall, the Nothing OS 3.2 update for Phone (2a) is a solid improvement. It solves a key problem with Private Space, updates the phone’s security, and makes performance better. Users are recommended to install this update to enjoy these new features and fixes.
Nothing has released a big new update for its Essential Space feature. This update brings powerful tools that make the AI interface more useful, personal, and easy to control.
What is Essential Space?
Essential Space is a smart feature that was first launched with the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro. It helps users collect, manage, and remember information better by using AI tools. It is accessed by separate button called Essential Key.
What’s New in This Update?
- Google Calendar Integration:
Now, your tasks and events created by AI in Essential Space will automatically appear in your Google Calendar. This makes it easier to stay on top of your schedule.- Editable Memory:
You can now edit the tasks and summaries made by the AI. If the AI makes a mistake — like the wrong meeting time — you can fix it yourself.
- Essential Recorder (Now Editable):
Record meetings, interviews, or conversations, and get AI-made summaries and transcripts. A new “Flip-to-Record” feature lets you start recording just by placing your phone face down — a simple and private way to capture audio.
- Essential Recorder (Now Shareable):
You can now share your recordings as images, PDFs, or Markdown files with just one tap.
Availability
These new Essential Recorder features are already available on the Nothing Phone (3). They will soon come to the Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, and CMF Phone 2 Pro.
Please note:
The Flip-to-Record feature will only work on the Phone (3).
The Essential Space update will be delivered automatically through the Google Play Store.
Nothing has started rolling out the first official software update for the newly launched Nothing Phone (3). This update does not bring a new OS version, as it remains on Nothing OS 3.5, but the build number has changed to Metroid-V3.5-250711-2047-IND. The update size is 257 MB and includes several new features, improvements, and bug fixes that enhance the overall experience.
One of the key improvements is to the Glyph Interface. A new Caller ID feature has been added, allowing users to long-press the Glyph button during a call to display the contact’s name or phone number. The Essential Notification system now supports selecting either built-in or custom icons. Users will also get access to generative ringtones that include Glyph Matrix lighting effects and randomly generated vibrations. In addition, the visual effects of the Glyph interface have been improved, the stability of Glyph Toys has been enhanced, and the Glyph button is now more responsive to avoid accidental touches.
The Essential Space feature has also been upgraded. It now supports “Flip to Record,” which lets users flip the phone face down and long-press the Essential Key to instantly start taking meeting notes. These notes are automatically saved in a to-do list format, making it easier to organize tasks.
The camera system has received some significant updates as well. Core imaging enhancements have been made to improve HDR, Night Mode, and Snapshot scenes for both front and rear cameras. These changes result in better brightness control and cleaner images. HDR video processing has also been improved, offering more natural brightness and better display performance. The UltraXDR Display has been upgraded too, ensuring smoother transitions between highlights and shadows.
There are many other system improvements included in this update. The performance of a popular battle royale game has been boosted to support 120 FPS, and Wi-Fi latency has been reduced during gaming for a better experience. Private Space now allows users to switch the default Gallery app, and pocket mode has been improved to prevent accidental touches. The audio experience has also been refined by fixing noise issues that occurred while toggling spatial audio during music playback.
The update also addresses slow or inconsistent charging problems and fixes an abnormal battery level display after charging. Lastly, overall system performance and power consumption have been optimized to ensure a more stable and efficient experience.
Earlier, users of Nothing Phones were able to activate the Essential Search Bar by updating the Nothing Launcher to the latest version. While it brought some improvements, a few features were still missing — especially the useful AI Search option.
Actually, it’s from the Nothing Phone (3), which is running the latest Nothing OS 3.5 update and already has all the Essential Search features fully functional.
This new Essential AI Search (Universal Search) allows users to search for anything directly from the home screen or app drawer — no need to open Google Chrome. It shows relevant results, including images, and sometimes gives quick answers in paragraph form. However, in some cases, it may not show images.
Now, older Nothing Phones can also get this feature! We have extracted the APK (installation file) from the new Nothing Phone (3), and it works smoothly on older devices too.
Important:
Before installing the APK, make sure your phone already has Nothing Launcher version 3.3.4 or later.
