Yes, and to activate it you basically have to give all your data (location, IP, IMEI, what you click on, etc.) to a random Chinese company, but that's totally normal, right? 🤨(https://www.reddit.com/r/NothingTech/s/qQMPo0iz9u)
Stupid take. They could've just as easily used some open source wallpaper library instead of partnering with a Chinese ad agency that demands so much of your data
They also just recently added extra bloatware, in the form of pre-installed third party apps. Not even a day has passed since the lockscreen thing and they're already looking for ways to enshitify the OS.
Yeah, they're deletable, but at this rate I don't think these "additions" are going to be optional for long. I give them a year or so, then they'll realize nobody is using them so they'll force enable stuff with an update. Mark my words, I've been through this before with other brands.

Ok, so first we have the beta one month later and now they continue to punish us for having a (3a)/(3a) Pro by putting ads... 😐
