OnePlus has rolled out the Android 15 Beta 1 update for the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus Open. While the first Android 15 Beta is not flawless, it offers security improvements and some minor UI changes. OnePlus 12 (review)has also received a new “Repair mode” functionality with the update, that makes it easy for you to protect your privacy while sending your phone for a repair.

Usually, you need to back up and erase all your data from your phone and before sending it to the technician. After the repair process, you need to reinstall all of it, which takes significant time and effort.

Repair mode in OnePlus 12 currently has room for improvement

OnePlus 12 users on the Android 15 Beta 1 update can now find the Repair mode functionality by going to Settings > System & updates > Repair mode. However, the implementation has still room for improvement.

Upon clicking on the Repair mode option, you will need to go through the setup process that will take you a minute or two before you land on the home screen as a separate user. When you exit the repair mode, the phone will erase all the data it has stored during the process and revert to the state it was in before.

We have already seen similar implementations from Samsung and Pixel. In fact, Samsung offered this functionality in OneUI 5 based on Android 13 which was called Maintenance mode. Google offered the feature as Repair mode to its Pixel devices starting with Android 14 QPR1.

While OnePlus‘s implementation of Repair mode is not as polished as we have seen with the other two brands, it’s still a good thing to have given the time and effort it saves. Hopefully, the company will fix the minor inconvenience before releasing and including it with the stable version.
