Nova draining battery so much in android beta
For those of you who use Google Pixel with Android Beta update and use Nova Launcher, does your battery feel like it's draining like this?

So basically my issue is is I know how to put folders within folders but not if that subfolder has shortcuts and that's what I'm trying to do is essentially put shortcuts which are just extensions of the same app within a subfolder category
I'm currently using 4x4, but 90% of the time when I try to open X app I open Y app instead, even when pressing as precisely as possible. It's getting old fast. My thumb isn't THAT big, but you'd think I had Shrek fingers by the way Nova recognizes my presses.
For the record I am on Android 16, Nothing phone 3A Pro, which has a 1080x2392 resolution.
I have a s23. Not modified.

2-3 times a day it glitches out and the home button stops working and this pops up.
I've emailed support but I wanted to check here as well
Thank you
Pretty much the title. I love the no-label look on the home page, but I'm wondering how I can create folders and have the labels shown. Under the Home settings they're disabled but under Folders they're enabled, yet I can't see folder names.
This is after creating a folder, opening it and giving it a name. Is there a setting I'm missing or is there some kind of workaround?

I have Nova Prime and after the last update I see this Nova ai spam that is half my screen. I don't see a setting to remove this. Clicking on the button goes to payment screen. Does somebody have a workaround?
Edit: version 8.6.8

I want to be able to type something into the search bar and just Google it by pressing enter on my keyboard, that amazing functionality is why I still use nova. Hell! It even pops up over the result of an equation if I search up a long string of equations. We should be able to customize wether we want and how predominantly we want that thing
I don't want Nova Ai and obviously it's impossible to remove
I do most of my updates from APK Mirror, but just got 8.6.8 update from the Google Play Store. Previous version was 81044 (8.5.6)
I don't know what has changed, other than a significant version number, but haven't discovered any issues yet.
I'm on an S26+, on Verizon
Does anyone know how I remove this huge AI message from the feed page?
I have Nova Launcher (paid Prime version) installed on my S26 Ultra. Frequently I'll get a prompt asking which home launcher I want to use (Nova or One UI) for some reason. This happens even after I repeatedly designate Nova as my default launcher. I even have Nova "Unrestricted" in the battery usage settings but still... I'll occasionally get that prompt asking to pick a default launcher. Anybody else going through this or have any tips/assistance?

How to remove the huge card interface that shows up while searching for the apps, I want normal sized app icons without any card interface
For those that haven't heard, Nova devs have restored weather integration for cards and search bar icons!
This appears to be a server side fix. No update is necessary.
Nova Launcher 8.6.6 just added an AI feature, but it’s not public yet. A dev has been sending the APK privately to some people through Discord (ModMyDevice), so it’s basically still in testing and not something everyone can try.
I mean, I like AI, it’s cool and all. But in a launcher?, it feels VERY random. A launcher is supposed to be fast and simple, just open apps, customize your home screen, etc....I don’t really see what AI adds here.
Maybe it can search things or open apps for you, but Android already does that. So unless it does something actually smart, like learning how you use your phone and helping you automate stuff, it might just be there for no real reason...
Right now it kinda feels like they added AI just because everything has AI these days, not because it actually needed it. Maybe it’ll get better later, but for now I’m not really convinced.
I tried to transfer my Prime license from the Google Play Store to a direct license as I use a de-Googled OS, and they came back with this.
