Assign essential glyph to a contact - Help

fehmik

Hi, I’m using a Nothing Phone 2. When I first got it, I selected my girlfriend as an essential contact in the Glyph Essentials section, and the essential Glyph on the back panel would light up only when she messaged me. However, I recently noticed that I can no longer add an individual contact to the essentials section. Does anyone know a solution or have any information about this? Thanks!

fehmik Hey, a trick that usually helps me, is in Settings -> Notifications -> Conversations -> Clear everything - then, after that contact send you a message, you will be able to add it as an essential notification again - hope that makes sense.

Daniel I cannot use the same feature for whatsapp after following the instructions, A little help would be great

KushPatel1605 Hey, I’d love to help you but need more information, what are you trying to do and what are the steps you tried, a screen recording would be helpful.

Daniel Sorry I didn’t see the message anyways, I would like to set essential notifications for specific conversations(chats) For eg- an office group or personal chat, in WhatsApp which for reason got removed but it was present when I bought the phone 2a in march last year.

I can set essentials but it applies for all group chats rather than giving me the selection which is not convenient as glyph would lit up for unimportant ones too.

Daniel

KushPatel1605 That’s odd, how does your settings -> glyph interface -> notifications -> Add new essential list looks like? empty?

KushPatel1605

Daniel No, it looks like this and it’s the problem sometime ago it showed individual chats and groups rather than showing just group notifications or message notifications

Daniel

KushPatel1605 Thanks for sharing a screenshot, have you tried reinstalling WhatsApp? - backup your WhatsApp data before.

KushPatel1605

Daniel No, I haven’t thanks, will try it and be back.

Edit: It didn’t work it shows the same options as it did before uninstalling it

Daniel

KushPatel1605 I also assume your Settings -> Notifications -> Conversations list is empty? I find this very odd since in the the screenshot you attached the WhatsApp name is “com.whatsapp” instead of “WhatsApp” - what device/OS/app versions are you using?

KushPatel1605

Daniel No, it has some recent conversations, and about “com.whatsapp” it got renamed when I reinstalled whatsapp as you can see in the screenshot prior to this it said WhatsApp.

edit: Device- Phone 2a ; OS- 3.0(Jan patch) ; WhatsApp version- 2.25.5.74

KushPatel1605 I can’t think of an easy solution for this. Try contacting the support team—the link is in the community sidebar on mobile and in the footer on desktop.

Hi everyone! 🙂

I’m new to nothing os, there is a way to customize the gliph composition for different essentials apps?

Here seems I can only use the same (pep) sound for every apps.

Thanks a loot! 🙂)
