In an exciting development for users of the Nothing Phone (1), the latest software update, Nothing OS V3.0-250218-1552, has been rolled out, enhancing the functionality of the device with the innovative Circle to Search feature. This update allows users to perform a quick search simply by enabling the feature in the settings.
