OnePlus has started the Open Beta Test for OxygenOS 16, giving users in India early access to the next version of its operating system. The beta program is now live for the OnePlus 13, 13s,13R, 12, 12R, and OnePlus Open. This is the final testing stage before the public release on October 16.
The OxygenOS 16 Open Beta allows users to try new features, test performance, and share feedback directly with OnePlus. The company says this version focuses on improving speed, design, and overall smoothness. However, as this is an early beta build, some features may not work fully and a few bugs or stability issues are expected.
The program is currently limited to India. Users in other countries will have to wait for future updates from OnePlus.
The application window is open from October 9 to October 13. Users who wish to join can apply through their phone settings. To be eligible, the device must be updated to a specific firmware version. Once approved, the beta update will be available over the air.
How to apply
Go to Settings > About device > Up to date, tap the menu icon in the top-right corner, select Beta program, and follow the instructions. After approval, go back to Settings > About device and tap Download Now to install the update.

The update should not erase user data, but OnePlus still recommends backing up important files. Users should make sure the phone has at least 30 percent battery and 4 GB of free storage before starting the installation. Some third-party apps might not work properly until they receive updates. Temporary issues such as heating, lag, or faster battery drain may occur while the system stabilizes.
