What’s new in OxygenOS 12

Everyone knows what the new Android 12 is like, however, we know that OnePlus has its own customization layer and that with the arrival of the new version of Google’s operating system, it also goes up to the OxygenOS 12 version and here we will tell you some of its main novelties.

First of all you will notice that OxygenOS 12 has optimized its design, has made adjustments in the Settings directory and has also improved different functions, for example, the “Parallel Applications” function changed its name to “Application Cloner”.

Now you can also find the “Do not disturb” settings in “Settings”, in the “Sound and vibration” menu. The updates have been moved to the “About phone” menu.

Private Safe’s hidden space is now isolated from other applications to ensure greater security. It will now be less visible, but in a more specific way so that you can access your data through the “Privacy” section in the Private Safe.

Likewise, it is now possible to add new users from the lock screen , in this way when lending the mobile, people will not have to access your personal information. You can also use the Optimized Night Charge, so that the phone runs a slow charge process throughout the night connected to the charger.

The redesigned OxygenOS 12 includes richer editing tools and a smoother Gallery experience. They have incorporated some new features like screencasting, dynamic layout, and authoring. App albums, screenshots, and screen recordings are categorized into other albums so that their main gallery focuses on your best shots.

It is expected that in the first quarter of the year 2022, OnePlus will update its Android 12 calendar to know the dates when it will reach the rest of the OxygenOS 12 devices.
