Why Some Users Get OxygenOS 16 Early – OxygenOS 16 Update: Eligible OnePlus Devices

Noticed others getting the update before you? Don’t worry — OxygenOS updates are rolled out incrementally.
This means:

  • Only a small group of users receives it first.
  • The wider rollout begins a few days later after stability checks.
    This strategy allows OnePlus to pause updates if bugs appear.

⚠️ Tip: While some users find ways to manually install early builds, it’s not recommended as it may void warranty or cause system instability.
