Those who downloaded the app and extension prior to its removal were still able to use it without issue.((https://nothing.community/d/55943)) Six days later, on 21 April, Warp made a return, albeit with a different installation method the for application: an Android APK file downloadable directly from the [[:community|Nothing Community]] thread. An official statement from [[:people:community_team#community_team_members|Community Team member]], Zac, was also released, stating that Warp was temporarily withdrawn to fine-tune the product following its initial release. He also confirmed there were no security or privacy concerns as some [[:community|community]] members speculated.((https://nothing.community/d/55831/44)) Warp is currently positioned as an early community project and they encourage users to share feedback via the [[:community:community_platforms#nothingcommunity|nothing.community]] thread.((https://nothing.community/d/55831)) The application was developed by Nothing's Product Manager, Raymond Zhu, as his final project released at Nothing before he left the company after four years of employment.((https://www.linkedin.com/in/raymondronglezhu/)) He mentioned that this is intended as an interim solution while they await access to Google's AirDrop hack, which was released to Google Pixel devices in November 2025((https://nothing.community/d/55831/9))((https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/quick-share-airdrop/)) ====== Features ====== Nothing Warp consists of two components - a lightweight Android app and an extension for Chromium-based browsers such as Arc, Brave, Chrome and Edge. Once both are installed, users sign into both apps with the same Google account which facilitates sending files to and from the app and the browser extension. The app takes advantage of the user's own Google Drive to move files securely, and doesn't send or store files on any third party server. Despite being developed by [[:nothing|Nothing]], the app is compatible with any Android device, meaning that non-[[:hardware|Nothing Phone]] users can take benefit from the tool. ===== Phone to Computer file transfer ===== Sending a file from a phone to a computer consists of tapping the native "Share" button in Android and selecting Nothing Warp. It then appears on browser extension and allows the user to download the file to their device. {{ :software:nothing_warp.webp|An image file in the Nothing Warp Android application.
