Today marks 1 year since our announcement that we've joined the Branch and Sesame teams! 🎉
That also means it has been 1 year since we promised your data would be safe and (shocker) we were telling the truth!
Thank you for sticking with Nova Launcher! ❤️

The version on the Play Store hasn’t been updated since Dec 14, 2021 and it still works better than any other alternative imo. However, I am planning to stop using it when they eventually force us to update to the new version (which is the current beta they share through discord).
Im not even sure what this all means? Ive been using Nova Launcher since my Galaxy Note 2, though… maybe I should stop using it?
This means that around a year ago nova was sold to a data collection company. But nova team declared that this had no impact on the launcher.
this is declared for mostly every company takeover, and very rarely happens in practice.
What to do, is up to you. Many stopped using nova .
I immediately stopped using Nova after 8-plus years following that announcement.
Interesting. Maybe its time to give the stock Samsung launcher a try, I guess?
I personally have still been using Nova Launcher and like it a lot more than Samsung’s on my S23 Ultra.
To my own surprise I found OneUI launcher very good and with good lock extension I have everything I need. One hand+ is a amazing tool on top of it
Samsung own launcher also uses features by the same company that bought Nova
I highly recommend KISS launcher
When paired with the Panels App it is such a nice setup after customizations.
That’s what I did about a year ago. And honestly, I miss Nova Launcher.

Same, and instead the day I need to migrate
