Following several reports surrounding its lack of security, Nothing Chats is gone from the Play Store
  • Nothing Chats, a rival to apps like Beeper and AirMessage, advertised itself as a secure platform for sending messages to iMessage users.
  • However, less than 24 hours after its launch, investigations into the app revealed that Nothing Chats logged every message in plain text and stored unencrypted data, including text messages, images, videos, and more, making it a significant privacy and security risk.
  • The company removed the app from the Play Store following these complaints, citing “several bugs” that need fixing.

    Despite that, I have a Nothing Phone 1 with LineageOS and I think it’s great. The iPhone like design is actually one of the reasons I bought it. Price is also very good for the hardware. What else they’re doing is nothing I care about.

      Well the shape of actually the best thing about it. Apple really hit on a winner with that design and the corner radius they use. It’s very pleasing to the eye. Whereas Android phones tend to have sharper corners, for whatever reason.

          Wow that is crazy! How can anyone patent a corner? What next? Patent the square?

          That judgement should be thrown out along with the judge who made it!

          I’d like to see if Apple sue Nothing because I think they literally traced an iPhone on paper and then added gimmick lights. Even the lights look like an apple logo
