New OxygenOS Update Brings Smarter Photos, Better Security & Easier Customization.

OnePlus has started rolling out a new OxygenOS update (CPH2717_16.0.2.400), and this update focuses on polishing daily user experience, improving Photos & Video editing, and strengthening security and privacy.

Let’s break down everything new in a simple way

• Smarter & Faster Photo Experience

• The Photos app has received some meaningful improvements:

• Automatic photo straightening now works while cropping and rotating portrait and architectural photos, helping your shots look more professional with zero effort.

• New filter options allow you to easily separate Motion Photos, screenshots, screen recordings, and edited media.

• Thumbnail loading is now faster, making browsing large photo libraries smoother.

Powerful Built-in Video Editing

• Video editing just got a big upgrade. You can now:

• Cut and split clips

• Stitch multiple videos together

• Add music and text

• Adjust speed and crop videos

• All of this can be done directly inside the system editor, reducing the need for third-party apps.

 Improved Smart Sidebar & App Customization

Storage cleanup tools can now be launched directly from the Smart Sidebar, making storage management quicker.

• App icons and shortcuts are more flexible — you can resize, rearrange, and drag-and-drop shortcut icons easily.

App clone icons can now be resized and customized just like regular apps.

Better “Circle to Search” Activation

The popular Circle to Search feature is now easier to trigger. Even if the gesture guide bar is hidden, you can still activate it by long-pressing the area where it usually appears.

 Stronger Security & Privacy

• You can now edit images and videos directly inside Private Safe without unlocking them first.

Phone Manager introduces automatic blocklist updates over Wi-Fi and mobile data, improving spam and threat detection.

• The update includes the January 2026 Android security patch, ensuring better protection against vulnerabilities.


Final Thoughts

This OxygenOS update may not change the design drastically, but it delivers useful quality-of-life improvements that users will notice every day. Faster photo handling, advanced video editing, smarter customization, and enhanced security make this a solid and well-balanced update.

If you face any issues, OnePlus recommends contacting customer support.

 Also, remember — the update package deletes itself After installation to save storage.
