The customization layers of the manufacturers provide the user with multiple ways to take advantage of and get the most out of your smartphone. One of the most beloved for its high level of customization and features is OxygenOS , the software used by OnePlus phones.
Most of its properties are intended to ensure a simple and accessible device navigation experience. In this way, today we bring you 5 tricks that you should try right now if you have a phone from the Asian company. Thanks to them you can take advantage of some functionalities that you did not know in part or in its entirety.
Goodbye gossips
Privacy is a fundamental aspect today, there is no doubt about that. We all want our data of interest to remain anonymous so that it does not fall into the wrong hands and telephone companies are fully aware of this.
For this reason, more and better ways are being introduced to increase the security of the terminal. In OxygenOS you can hide apps so that no one can gain access to them.
To do this, simply open the application drawer by sliding from the bottom to the top on the home screen. Once inside, slide again, but this time to the right so that the ‘hidden space’ appears . If you touch the icon in the upper right area you can indicate which program you want to hide.
Have what you need at hand
Accessibility is one of the great virtues of OxygenOS and proof of this is the possibility of opening any smartphone software through only the fingerprint reader integrated into the screen. It should be noted that this is only possible in those that incorporate it.
Still, this is a really cool feature that you need to start using. Just by pressing and holding on the sensor, the various applications that you have marked as favorites will be displayed.
Activating this feature is as simple as entering the mobile settings and looking for the ‘Utilities’ section . When you have located it, you just have to access and activate the ‘Quick start’ option.
Keep your battery safe
The battery is an essential component of the phone. Keeping it in good condition is a mandatory requirement if you want to enjoy your device for as long as possible, since it is prone to wear and tear if it is used inappropriately.
Luckily, your OnePlus has a function that will notify you in the event that an application is disproportionately affecting energy consumption . This way, you can act accordingly before the situation gets worse.
To check this facet you must open the ‘Battery’ section in the ‘Settings’ and click on the first section that appears just below the main area where the percentage of remaining energy appears.
Block an app
Surely on more than one occasion you were listening to music and you have closed all the applications without realizing that the song will stop playing. This is quite common, but can be avoided with a simple function.
Just open the app switcher and go to the one you want to always keep active . Hold down on it and various options will appear. The one we are interested in is ‘Block’. No worries, that software will never shut down until we tell it otherwise.
respond quickly
We all know how annoying it is to watch a series, video or movie on your smartphone and have to stop to answer messages carefully. Thanks to a setting you can answer in a simple and uncomplicated way.
The ‘Landscape Quick Reply’ feature generates smart messages when you hold the handset horizontally. With just one touch you can provide a reply while you continue playing content. This peculiarity is found within the ‘Utilities’ section, which we have already mentioned above.
