Alongside this, organizing your Home Screen has gotten easier. Now you can scroll through pages even while you're moving around app icons – a small detail that makes rearranging things much more intuitive.
Nothing OS 2.5.3 also tackles a few things that aren't immediately obvious but definitely matter. For car owners, there's a fix for a Bluetooth connectivity issue that caused problems playing media. If you notice animations now feel a bit snappier, that's not your imagination – they've been optimized for a slicker experience.
