Nothing is removing lockscreen ads from most of its devices. The company confirmed that its “Lock Glimpse” feature, which showed promotional content on the lockscreen, will no longer be active for the majority of users.
Lock Glimpse was introduced as a way to show updates and offers. But many saw it as intrusive, with complaints spreading across forums and social media. Users raised concerns about privacy and the overall experience.
In response, Nothing said it is disabling the feature on most phones. The company admitted the rollout led to unintended consequences and stressed that it is listening to feedback. However, Nothing has not ruled out future changes or other implementations.
Lockscreen ads are not new. Other brands have tried similar approaches, often facing backlash when features arrive without clear consent.

For now, Nothing owners can expect a cleaner lockscreen. This decision also shows how user feedback can help shape product choices, especially in a competitive smartphone market.
