OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7 users are now getting Android 10-based Oxygen OS Open Beta 3 Update. The new update brings tons of fixes and performance improvements alongside couple of handy new features.

Talking about new features, the Open Beta 3 Update adds ‘Activity Mode’ to the Zen Mode, this will allow OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro users to share their experience with each other. ‘Optimized performance and experience to adapt to Android 10’ is another feature that is worth mentioning in this update.

Lastly, as promised, OnePlus also added a feature called ‘Work-Life Balance’ only for the Indian users. The main aim of this feature is to let you assign your apps to Work mode or Life mode and automate them with location, Wi-Fi networks, and schedule. Your OnePlus device, which in this case is either a OnePlus 7 or a 7 Pro, will take care of the rest by not letting work notifications spoil your moments with friends and family. Long story short, it’ll let you sort notifications when at work or leisure, accordingly. You can see the official changelog below.
