TL;DR Nothing just removed its brand new “Nothing Warp” file transfer app and Chrome extension without any official explanation.
The app and its browser extension were released yesterday, but are now unavailable for those who didn’t download them at launch.
Update: April 20, 2026 (3:52 AM ET): Our reader, Giovanni D., reached out to Nothing about why the app suddenly disappeared, and the company responded with this statement:
“Our product team has temporarily removed the Nothing Warp file sharing application to make necessary improvements based on early user feedback and technical evaluations. This is not a permanent removal, but rather a strategic pause to enhance the product’s performance and ensure it meets our high quality standards.”
On privacy and security, the company says there’s no urgent risk for anyone who downloaded the app early. You don’t need to take action right now, and an improved version will roll out automatically once it’s ready. Original article: April 16, 2026 (1:25 AM ET): Nothing has weirdly taken down its newly launched Warp app from the Play Store, along with its Chrome extension and official announcement blog post, just hours after making it public.
For those who missed it, Nothing Warp was announced as a cross-device file transfer tool that worked between Android phones and desktops on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It relied on Google Drive as a temporary bridge to move files, links, images, and clipboard text between devices signed into the same Google account.

The app had only just rolled out yesterday, and we already tested it at launch. It worked reliably and was fairly quick for basic transfers. However, it required extensive browser permissions and essentially automated a process that users could replicate manually with Google Drive.
