iQOO has started rolling out FuntouchOS 12 based on Android 12 according to schedule, and the iQOO Z3 has become not just one of the first offerings from the brand to get treated to the same, but also the very first phone in the sub-₹20,000 segment to receive Android 12 stable.

The update carries version number PD2073BF_EX_A_6.72.7, has a size of 4GB, and is currently being seeded to India. A slew of new Android 12-specific features and some FuntouchOS-exclusive features have been added including new widgets, stickers, small window functionality, and much more. Along with this, iQOO also claims that the system performance and security have also been improved.

The complete official changelog has been given below:

With this update, your device will be updated to Funtouch OS 12 Global, which brings you a brand-new experience with various features, as well as improved system security and performance. Get ready for an all-new experience.

Widgets

Small but powerful widgets. We have reinterpreted and reorganized the information on different platforms, condensing core information into each widget. Now you can view important information and complete core actions on the home screen.

Nano Music Player

With just one tap on the home screen, you can enter a new world of music. Your listening experience will not be interrupted by repeatedly switching the sound source, making it incredibly simple and easy to enjoy music.

Stickers

We provide stickers with different features which allows you to change the text and image background and choose from a variety of colors so that you can match and express yourself as you wish. Make stickers as colorful as you like.

Small Windows

Small windows are simple to open. You can drag to resize them and change where they float, making multitasking easier.

System

• Added the Unlock to power off feature. You need to unlock the phone to power it off.
• Added the feature in which an “approximate location” is given to apps. Apps will only get an approximate location instead of a precise one.
• Added the app hibernation feature. If you haven’t used an app for months, it will be denied access to all permissions by the system.

If you haven’t received the update on your device yet, then it could be possible that it is currently being rolled out in stages. It would thus be advisable to simply wait for a while. Still, you can always head over to Settings > System update to manually check if there’s any new version available.

Along with the iQOO Z3, the iQOO 7, 7 Legend, and Z5 are also scheduled to get updated to Android 12-based FuntouchOS 12 this month. However, the iQOO 3 will be a bit late to the party and will only receive FuntouchOS 12 later in March 2022.
