OxygenOS 16.0.5 update on OnePlus 12 series is now officially rolling out with the latest March security patch and several new improvements. The update, sized around 1.16GB, carries version 16.0.5702 and introduces useful features along with a few bugs and performance concerns.
Features of OxygenOS 16.0.5 Update on OnePlus 12 Series
The OxygenOS 16.0.5 update on OnePlus 12 series brings multiple new additions aimed at improving usability. One of the key highlights is the multiple timer feature in the Clock app, allowing users to run several timers at once without restrictions.
Another improvement is Content Portal support for cloned apps, making file sharing easier between apps like cloned WhatsApp. This improves productivity for users who use dual apps regularly.
The update also adds Motion Cues, an accessibility feature designed to reduce motion sickness. It works by showing animated dots on the screen that move based on vehicle motion, helping users stay comfortable while traveling.
UI Changes in OxygenOS 16.0.5 Update on OnePlus 12 Series
A visual enhancement comes with the updated Wallpaper & Styles app (version 16.0.12). It introduces a Contour Glow effect, which adds a subtle edge lighting effect across the UI, including lock screen widgets and quick settings.
This gives the interface a more polished and slightly “liquid glass” feel without changing the core OxygenOS design.
Bugs and Performance Issues
Despite improvements, the OxygenOS 16.0.5 update on OnePlus 12 series has a few issues. Users have reported:
- AI Suggest widget not loading properly
- Screen recording button not highlighting correctly
- Slight drop in benchmark performance after update
These issues suggest that the update still needs optimization and may not be fully stable yet.
Final Verdict
The OxygenOS 16.0.5 update on OnePlus 12 series brings useful features and UI refinements, but also introduces minor bugs and performance dips. If you want new features, you can update now, but if stability is your priority, waiting for the next patch would be a better choice.
