7 OxygenOS features that Oneplus Users Need to Know About

App locker

App locker is an enhanced app security feature that you get with the OxygenOS. With this feature you can lock any apps that you want to keep from being accessed by other people. To activate this, all you need to do is go to the phone settings, and under the utilities section tap on the App locker option. Once done, you can enter the PIN of your choice and select the apps you want to lock. This way your data is safe and cannot be misused in your absence.

Shelf

Another OxygenOS feature is a home screen productivity tool called Shelf. You can use this tool to take notes, check the day’s weather or view your recently used apps. It also offers a ‘dashboard’ feature that allows you to keep a track of your battery’s life, data usage and available phone storage. You can also customise Shelf by adding widgets or switch it off completely.

Gestures

In order to access apps quickly, you can use OxygenOS’ gesture feature. It supports both on-screen and off-screen gestures, thereby helping you carry out tasks seamlessly. On-screen gestures include holding your finger on to the screen to view the multitasking window or swiping up from the bottom to go to the home screen. On the other hand, off-screen gestures include drawing an alphabet on the screen when it is turned off to quickly open an app of your choice. Optionally, you can take screenshots by using three fingers to swipe down on the screen.

Zen mode

An interesting feature available is Zen mode. Upon activation, this feature locks your phone completely for 20 minutes. During this time, you can only make emergency phone calls and access your phone camera. You need to keep in mind that once you activate this mode, you cannot undo it for 20 minutes even by restarting your phone. This feature is ideal if you want to integrate some disciplined quiet time into your schedule.

Parallel apps

With this OxygenOS feature you can operate multiple social media accounts, on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, without having to log out of one account and log in to the other. All you need to do is clone the app you want to use and log in once with your secondary account. Thereafter, you can access both your accounts at the same time.

Gaming and Fnatic mode

The gaming mode offered by the OxygenOS enhances your gaming experience by blocking notifications other than calls and alarms. This feature was further developed to provide you with the choice of viewing call or message alerts as small floating notifications or as a text on the top of the display screen. Further, you can use this feature while viewing content on apps like YouTube as well.

The company introduced the Fnatic mode with the launch of the OnePlus 7 Pro. This mode takes your gaming experience a notch higher by blocking all notifications excluding alarms and by tweaking the default settings of the phone’s CPU/GPU to divert the focus to the game that you’re playing. Enhance your gaming experience by selecting best gaming phones under 15000 without hampering your budget.
