Here are a few tweets from the OnePlus nine and OnePlus 9 Pro users who shared their opinions about the all-new OxygenOS 12:
‘The OxygenOS 12 carries numerous buggs, the most serious of all this is that if you did not have the phone app on your home screen just before to the update, you will not be able to physically find it anywhere on your phone (not even in the app manager). You will have to open this from the Play store at all times. The icon box in customization crashes often, you are unable to view Google Feed for the majority of the time, all permissions have been reset, and the recents menu is one of the worst you will ever see on a phone in its current state. It’s buggy, and it’s not worth your time.’ said Amankirti Walde, a writer and poet by profession.
‘I’m completely disgusted. After choosing the close all button in task manager, the last used application still appears on the screen, implying that task manager is unable to shut all applications. Whatsapp parallel is unable to connect to the internet. There is no call recording application. I miss my previous phone and the contacts app on my phone.’ says M Khan.
