Phones showing ads? What they've added to your lock screen
Nothing's latest beta update for Nothing OS 4.0 is sparking a debate. Users may soon see ads right on their phone's lock screen.
This change comes with the new beta version. It offers an optional feature to display advertisements. The company aims to explore new revenue streams.
This is a surprising shift for users. Many are accustomed to clean, ad-free lock screens. The company is justifying this move by calling it a way to keep devices more affordable.
Early reactions suggest a mixed response. Some users find it an unwelcome intrusion. Others are curious about how it might impact phone pricing.
The company is calling this an exploration of new business models. Future updates may bring more clarity on this ad integration.
