Overview
- Later this month, a Nothing OS 4.0 beta/update will add a built-in option to uninstall Meta App Installer, Meta App Manager, and Meta Services on Phone (3a) devices.
- The update follows an initial OS 4.0 approach that only allowed disabling those system components rather than removing them.
- Lock Glimpse, which delivers lock-screen content, will remain preinstalled on affected phones but can be disabled.
- Nothing will present curated app recommendations during device setup only, and the suggestions can be skipped.
- TikTok is preinstalled only in the EU, UK, and Japan, and these changes apply to the 3a series rather than the flagship Phone 3.
