The Nothing Phone 3a is set to receive an important update that introduces a highly anticipated privacy feature from Android 15. This update will enhance the phone’s capabilities with new functionalities, including support for 4K video, camera improvements, and a hotspot manager, alongside the addition of Privacy Space.
Privacy Space allows users to create a separate and secure profile to hide apps from others. Although this feature was not included in the initial rollout of Nothing OS 3, the company has now integrated it into the Phone 3a.
Users will be able to access this feature conveniently by swiping right in the app drawer, providing a straightforward way to manage privacy settings. With Privacy Space, users can designate specific apps and data to be stored in a locked environment, similar to the functionality found in stock Android.
Furthermore, this feature offers an added layer of security by allowing users to set different passwords for Privacy Space compared to the App Locker, enhancing overall data protection. There have been hints about the development of this feature as early as March, when an APK teardown of the Nothing Launcher indicated the impending inclusion of Private Space.
This development suggests that Privacy Space will replace the previously available hidden icon feature, which aimed to conceal apps from the home screen. As the rollout of these updates begins, users of the Nothing Phone 3a can look forward to improved privacy options that align with modern smartphone security standards.
This enhancement reflects Nothing’s commitment to providing robust features that meet user demands for privacy and security in their mobile experience.
