OxygenOS from OnePlus is regarded as one of the best custom skins for Android smartphones. This is because the company takes customer feedback seriously and rolls out features that the users demand.
In line with that, the company has revealed that it will soon be adding floating window support to the Gaming Mode on OxygenOS. Users of the OnePlus 7 series devices will be able to use the feature with the next beta version of the operating system.
OnePlus confirmed this feature through a monthly FAQ post on its forum. Answering a question about the floating window in Gaming Mode, the company said that the “floating window will be accessed through the gaming tools box. In gaming tools box, you can not only get WhatsApp & Instagram floating windows, but also switch on mis-touch prevention, screen recorder, notification and Fnatic Mode.”

This means that even during playing a game, users will be able to respond to messages in WhatsApp and Instagram without having to leave the game. Along with this, the company has also mentioned some bug fixes and improvements with the new update.
While the feature is first coming to the OnePlus 7 and 7T models, the company has confirmed that it will be available for OnePlus 6 and every other smartphone released after that. So, the users of OnePlus 5T and earlier models won’t be getting this feature.
Apart from adding this new feature, the Chinese company is also working on rolling out the latest Android 11 update for the eligible smartphones. Currently, the Android 11 Developer Preview 3 is available for the OnePlus 8 series models.
