The bypass charging kicks in when doing more intensive tasks like gaming, streaming, or navigating, and allows both using the phone and charging the battery. Editing up to 50MP photos without loss of quality is available in the OnePlus Photos app.

Here’s the full changelog.

    charge your phone without harming the battery, while also reducing overheating.
  • Improves app categorization in Drawer mode by adding the “Office” and “Finance” categories to make it easier to
    find apps.
  • Integrates the January 2026 Android security patch to enhance system security.

Security & privacy

  • You can now browse files in Private Safe by sliding the side slider.
  • You can now search for files from folders in Private Safe.
  • You can now share files in Private Safe.

Network connections

  • Adds a “Reply with SMS” switch that lets you hide the SMS reply option on the incoming call screen.
    You can find this feature in “Contacts -︙- Settings – Answer/End calls – Reply with SMS”.

As always, this OTA will be incremental. The OTA will reach a small percentage of users today,
and we’ll begin a broader rollout in a few days.
