The application is designed to enhance the user experience with OnePlus's true wireless earphones by providing various useful features. Users can easily check the battery level of their headset, customize touch controls, and ensure their headset firmware is always updated for optimal performance. These functionalities aim to offer a more integrated and convenient way to manage wireless earphones directly from the phone.
This app specifically works on OnePlus devices running OxygenOS 11. If users have other devices, they are advised to install alternative apps such as Wireless Earphones (for OxygenOS 12 or later) or HeyMelody, which are compatible with non-OnePlus phones. Additionally, users should note that if they do not see the features after installing the app, they may need to update their device to the latest software version and then try again.
Some features available in the app are only supported on the stable versions of the operating system, particularly on OnePlus 6 and newer models. This is necessary to ensure compatibility and smooth operation of all functionalities. Users with older or non-stable OS versions might not have access to the full range of features offered by the app.
The reason for the pre-installation of the OnePlus Buds app on compatible devices is to facilitate a seamless connection and interaction between the OnePlus smartphone and the wireless earphones. By integrating these features into the system, OnePlus aims to improve overall user experience, making it easier to manage and maintain their wireless audio devices through a dedicated app.
