In addition to voice assistant support, the Nothing Ear (1) update includes the following changes (via):

• Your ear (1) now connects really well to third-party apps and laptops. Like really well.
• Switching the connection of ear (1) between multiple devices like your phone and laptop? No problem, because stability is stronger than ever. Phew.
• The battery display of ear (1) in your app is now even more accurate.
• The In-Ear Detection switch in the app had some bugs, but now that’s been fixed. That means you can now turn it on and off whenever you want.
