Following several reports surrounding its lack of security, Nothing Chats is gone from the Play Store

…but a phone manufacturer throwing its weight behind one of these solutions certainly raises the stakes.

What?

Was a phone manufacturer endorsing this solution? If not, then which one? Which manufacturer are we talking about?

Why include this comment with zero actual information?

To be fair, the article initially did not mention the manufacturer by name, taking it for granted that you would already know it was Nothing.

They only got around to mention it a good bit later, after solidifying the idea that the app was really badly made

Yeah, the article wasn’t the problem. My lack of knowledge was. Oh well.

Isn’t Nothing a phone manufacturer?

Apparently they are. I was not aware of that. I’d never heard of them before reading this article.

Nothing is a phone manufacturer.
