However, the update brings even more. These include improvements for AI operation, and fine enhancements have been made to the interface. Exactly which improvements the update brings, we've put down for you below.

Effortless AI at all times

  • After resizing an app icon and adding frequently used shortcuts, you can now drag and drop these shortcuts to rearrange them.
  • Adds a "Neon" filter to the Camera app that mimics the CineStill 800T film effect, enhancing atmospheric night portraits.
  • Filters in the Photos app now support "Moving Photo", "Screen and Screen Captures" and "Edited" options, making it easier to filter images and videos.
  • Adds a bypass loading function. While gaming, livestreaming, watching videos, navigating or in other high-load situations, you can now connect the charger for bypass charging. With this feature, you can use and charge your phone at the same time without damaging the battery and preventing overheating.
  • You can now drag and drop app clone icons to resize and add shortcuts.
  • Improves the method for parsing thumbnails in the Photos app to speed up the display of thumbnails in the app.
  • Fixes an issue where the display in your car can lose connection with your phone when you switch data networks.

System

The update is rolling out as of now for the OnePlus 15.
