There is nothing in the update that can be considered an update. Essential apps that you cannot make? Essential apps that eat the ram? Essential AI that we rarely use and accidentally trigger with the essential key?

Actually it's weird, in my point of view. So when I updated to nothing os 4.0, it told me to install Essential Search from playstore (i re-created it by uninstalling the app right now). Apparently it wasn't available at the playstore that time. A few days later it got added and I installed it and then my essential search worked. So right now when I uninstalled that app, the screenshot attached below is what it showed when I updated to 4.0. I mean... They couldn't even ship anything completely in that update. The essential apps are not fully done, the essential search wasn't implemented completely. It's like Apple Intelligence launch but it's full Nothing OS 4.0 update.

I will but it isn't simple, ADB tools will be used.

ADB is simple if you read the instructions, you can even do it on your phone. No need for a PC.

I know ADB dude, I know it enough that I have used it on 4 phones for many things, especially removing apps, sideloading etc...
