Nothing Adds Bloatware to Its Phones Amid Revenue Concerns
The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is the company's first device with pre-installed third-party apps like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, which cannot all be uninstalled, highlighting a shift from its traditionally clean Android experience. The pre-installed apps are partly a revenue strategy to offset hardware costs, and the device also features a default 'Lock Glimpse' wallpaper feature that can be disabled.
