Nothing Warp File Sharing App Disappears Soon After Release
A new app called Nothing Warp has been introduced for Android users, mainly for Nothing phone users. The app is designed to make file sharing between phone and computer very simple and fast.
This app allows users to transfer images, text, links, and other files between their Android phone and computer. It works in both directions, meaning users can send files from phone to PC and also from PC to phone.
To use this feature, users need to install the Nothing Warp app on their Android phone and Chrome extension on their laptop or PC. After installing both, users must sign in with the same Google account. Once connected, sharing files becomes quick and wireless without needing any cable.
The app uses Google Drive in the background to transfer files. This means the data is stored in the user’s own Google Drive, not on Nothing’s servers. This also ensures that the user’s data remains private.
However, there is a problem. Shortly after launch, the official community post related to the app was removed. Also, the Chrome extension is no longer available on the Chrome Web Store. The reason is not confirmed, but it may be due to some issues.
The app was initially available on the Google Play Store, but it has now been removed. Along with the missing Chrome extension, this makes the app currently unusable.
Overall, Nothing Warp looks like a useful tool for quick file sharing, but it still needs improvement and stability. Users are now waiting to see if Nothing will bring it back with fixes in the future.

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.
