ChatGPT integration comes to the Nothing Phone 2a and Phone 1
Nothing recently announced the rollout of Nothing OS 2.5.5 and OS 2.5.5.a to Phone 1 and Phone 2a, respectively. One of the key highlights of these updates is the integration of ChatGPT into the devices, which introduces new gestures that require the Ear and Ear a products. Along with this integration, users can now access new ChatGPT widgets directly from their home screens.
ChatGPT Integration on Phone 1 and Phone 2a
The integration of ChatGPT on Phone 1 and Phone 2a mirrors what was previously seen on Phone 2. Users are required to install ChatGPT from the Google Play Store before accessing the feature through the Nothing X app. This enables users to initiate voice conversations with ChatGPT using the new gestures, specifically designed for Nothing Ear and Ear (a) products.
New Features and Improvements
Aside from the ChatGPT integration, Nothing OS 2.5.5 for Phone 1 introduces a host of new features, improvements, and fixes. Users can now selectively apply the Nothing Icon pack to the Home Screen, enhancing accessibility in the App Drawer. Additionally, users have the flexibility to rearrange app icons by holding them while scrolling through pages on the Home Screen.
Phone 1 users can now choose to display Quick Settings on the Lock Screen and customize icons on the status bar through Display settings. The update also includes a new RAM booster feature, although it comes with a cautionary note from experts.
Additional Enhancements
Phone 2a users can expect optimizations in the visual display of battery levels through the Battery widget on the home screen. The power-saving mode has been enhanced to ensure vibrations for calls and notifications remain active. Moreover, the AI-powered algorithm for auto-brightness is now a part of the Phone 2a experience.

Despite some limitations in functionality, Nothing Phone 2a continues to offer a compelling option in the affordable Android segment. The device maintains the signature glyph interface and packs impressive specifications.
