NOTHING’s launcher could get you in trouble at the Airport

NOTHING, Carl Pei’s brainchild recently gave us a peek at what we can expect from its first smartphone, the Nothing Phone (1) by publishing the Nothing Launcher Beta on the Google Play Store last week.

However, despite all this, the product has received mixed reviews on the Play Store, the biggest qualm about the app is that the launcher could get you detained at the airport security with its ringtones.

Here’s how NOTHING can get you in trouble:

Once you finish downloading Nothing’s launcher, apart from changing the icon packs and the home screen, the Nothing launcher also switches up your wallpaper background, alarms, ringtones, and notification sounds.

Despite the provided launch wallpapers (Hand.png and Face.png) looking rather unsettling, they will not land you in trouble in the public spaces. You will get into trouble due to the ringtones and notification sounds.

If you want to experience these tones and notification sound effects, check out this link, unless you are in the airport then just don’t.

Starting with the ringtones, that has been named “Nothing_ing_1.ogg”. The ringtone is an 11-second audio clip that is to be played on loop when you receive an incoming call. If you are rather innocent the audio clip sounds like a woodpecker pecking on tree bark.

However, the folks at the airport may not assume the same, the ringtone playing at full volume is similar to the soundwave frequencies of 4 muffled consecutive assault rifle gunshots that could lead security to assume there has been a shooting, which would lead to panic at the airport when in reality you will just be getting an incoming call.

The worst-case scenario is that the security will find that you are the culprit in charge of the mass panic, and it could also get you detained at the airport for pulling a prank of this scale that had misled the national security defense into thinking there was a terrorist attack.

The notification sound has been named “Nothing_notification_1.ogg” and it is a shortened version of the ringtone, it swaps out 4 shots for 1 shot.

If you get multiple notifications with your phone at full volume, then only the lord can help you because it would sound as if you had a gun in your pocket.

Considering Nothing’s Launcher is still in the Beta development, the company really has to consider the users’ feedback before officially preinstalling Nothing’s first-ever smartphone, the Nothing Phone (1).

The Nothing Phone (1) is set to release in the summer of 2022. It most certainly appears to be a unique phone. Do you think that the brand will feature a transparent back on its phone as it did for the Nothing Buds (1)? Do let us know!
