OnePlus is rolling out a significant software update for the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 13R that introduces dual Bluetooth audio streaming. This feature allows users to connect two pairs of Bluetooth earbuds to their phone simultaneously. This update is significant as it broadens audio sharing functionality that was previously restricted to certain devices or required manual workarounds. Users who often share music or require dual audio for accessibility reasons will likely find this feature immediately beneficial.
Update brings dual audio streaming and June security patch
The update arrives as OxygenOS version 16.0.8.300 for the affected devices. OnePlus confirmed the release through its official community channels. The company is currently distributing the software in India on a phased basis. Users in Europe and North America should receive the update within the coming days.
Beyond audio features, the update includes the June 2026 Android security patch. The update ensures that both devices receive the latest protections against known security vulnerabilities. The update also enhances the Game Capture tool by allowing 2K resolution screenshots. Users who record gameplay can now capture higher-resolution images for sharing or documentation purposes.
The software update adds several utility features to the system interface. The Weather app now displays moonrise, moonset, and lunar phase information. This feature provides users with additional astronomical data without the need for a separate application. The update also introduces an Outdoor Mode that pins apps to the status bar. This feature helps users keep important information visible in bright sunlight or while moving outdoors.
