They made it look like apple


theskymoves

These Chinese uis always go to that. What happened to the oneplus of old where there was innovation and features the community wanted?


AWanderersAccount

Dead


EskimoXBSX

Long dead an buried. Oppo has exactly the same OS and OnePlus these days, it's fucking identical


Useful_Category1135

Custom roms fix that I was using pixel os on my 12R it's was cool tho I was able to upload unlimited pictures and videos didn't account against my storage


MetalDeep329

Is it stable? Inferno's build right. 12r development is still in its infancy.


Sea-Rip3312

OnePlus and realme are both owned by oppo and all three companies have the exact same software now. It was kind of the reason I went with a OnePlus after using a realme 8 for almost 3 years but now I'm kinda disappointed because oppo has completely ruined OnePlus' brand identity


PerformanceOk3617

Would still like to see a programmable alert slider where is that at because that shits ass backwards and I still don't like it and maybe some more cool fingerprint unlock animations or better fonts possibly


jeff_menace91

That would be fire, programmable alert slider and yeah I second more fingerprint animations. When I was still using my 8T I had it on a custom ROM that actually had a shit ton of animations for the fingerprint so I don't see why they should be slacking on that at least.


Shady220

They moved on to nothing


Nawnp

And it looks just as horrible on Apple devices. Using a Mac with now touchscreen friendly user interfaces is insane.


In_The_Computer

FFS, why?


win_a

Ans that's when they knew they fked up.


Rabbider

actually they started this years ago with OxygenOS 12 and that's why I've never updated from Oxygen 11 and will *Never Again* buy a OnePlus phone


Jordiethesparky

They all are even samsung is going in that direction, like even there laptop looks like a macbook Its like look at us we look like apple but we have freedom lol

XiTzCriZx

I don't understand the people who think it *doesn't* look like iOS, it's very obvious that they pulled a "copy my homework but change a few things" lmao.


Epic_VG

They're intensionally copying apple. Even the setting. https://preview.redd.it/3gjcvitqet8d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0c6acf5ff4f9b8dc99f941bd04dece607d9513f


Head_Exchange_5329

Yeah it's not just a little similar either.


deepakmohank

Dumbest move.. smartphones are long these days and still they wanted us to reach towards the top most part of the screen to adjust volume & brightness?? Why would one need volume slider in QS if they're still providing Volume buttons!! Or the least, they could've given users a choice to edit to ones liking.


Ilania211

> Why would one need volume slider in QS if they're still providing Volume buttons!! Here's some that I can think of off the top of my head: Convenience, more granular control over the volume (if it doesn't do it in steps, that is), making quick adjustments, having some form of redundancy if one of your buttons is non-functional or you don't want to hit it.


deepakmohank

Granular controls are still available once the Vol keys are pressed and slider appears. If it were for convenience, they should've allowed users to keep the slider anywhere in the QS screen. Unlike iOS we can swipe anywhere on screen for QS.. positioning the icons to ones liking would've been better..


steelcitykid

I don’t know what it looked like before but this looks A LOT like the current iOS placement.


cjvphd

From the home screen you can pull down from anywhere and then pull down again near the bottom to enter one hand mode. That works well, but it's a narrow use case.


Shrex9

Imo it's a lot nicer having the volume slider in the shade , it makes more sense.


Top_Imagination8596

Yep easier to find when your phone goes all black under the sun when not turning on auto brightness


BlejiSee

Everyone has a preference, there isn't an option to remove these two


Massive-Switch1054

I was also rolling my eyes when they changed it but honestly I got used to it on my iPhone and I kind of enjoy it here. Only wish I could change the position to a little lower so I could use it single handed. With my case the volume buttons are really stiff and using them single handed feels like I'm going to yeet my phone or I need to shift my grip completely.


Shrex9

Yeah if there was an option which I think was on Xiaomi phones then yeah sure, but imo this is the superior design. Just because it's blatantly copied from apple doesn't mean it isn't good lol


M1k0M1k

It's not good "lol". You can already change the volume with buttons and the mute switch, so another control for the same thing is just wasting space. Also the brightness control is way harder to reach now, unlike in apple's control center where it's much closer to your thumb. I don't hate it as much as I thought I would and the new blurs are much nicer, but it's definitely not superior.


PyrrhicVictory7

Why would you remove the volume and brightness sliders??


odoggin012

I keep accidentally turning on auto brightness when I'm trying to turn up the brightness


cjvphd

This sub is 90% about the volume/brightness sliders, SOT, and how to close an audio source so it doesn't show up in the notifications drop-down. It's getting pretty tiresome. Edit: Plus 5% fake moon photos. Can't forget about those.


XiTzCriZx

That's better than a few years ago when 90% of the sub was people complaining about major software issues that actually significantly affected the phone's experience. There was a point where Android 11 or 12 for the 7T's were literally bricking people's phones because of a botched update. There's always gonna be complaints, it happens on the Samsung, Motorola, and even Apple's sub, but atleast it's gone down to more minor things instead of massive issues.


MotoMola

Sounds like OnePlus isn't listening to their clientele then?


iceleel

Sounds like if they remove these stupid sliders they've added, fix idle battery drain and remove music tile we'll have nothing to talk about anymore


Useful_Category1135

I don't like that's why I using custom roms


cjvphd

Ok


EvoRalliArt

SOT posts are funny tho. Because 90% of the time they have just used their flagship phone, cranked down the specs and used it for YouTube for 11 hours on WiFi only lol


cjvphd

Seriously. Especially when it takes 10 minutes to charge like 50%. Just use it and charge it.


EvoRalliArt

Also why I don't need wireless charging in my life. If I'm at my desk I'll just slow charge. If I'm heading off quick 10-15 on the Dash/Warp/Supervooc whatever its called now and I'm away.


sonastyinc

I know, right? And why make the wifi and data toggles so big?


sancredo

You can configure that. Inmy phone, it's the wifi and bluetooth buttons taking that space.


SpijkerKoffie

Am I the only one that likes it?


Esmejo93

Visually, yes. But I have found out a lot of times that i turn on the auto brightness by accident when trying to lower it.


GlendrixDK

As a OP10 owner, I'm just glad to finally have an auto brightness again.


Esmejo93

I never turn it on and only noticed because the display was dimmer or brighter than what I wanted.


Bubblykit

Use the top part of the slider. The adjustment is relative this time. 


Esmejo93

It's hard to reach the top with my thumb.


ItzCobaltboy

You ain't alone


Far_Health_3214

i love it. much easier to find brightness and sound settings


reallyryan-1899

I like it too, you aren't alone.


IHaveSpoken000

I have no problems with it. I'm not sure what everyone is objecting to.


Yama92

I got my 12R today and I like the UI change!


jrsilver

I am extremely neutral. It was fine before, it's fine now.


ScenicFrost

I like it too


diandakov

Me too


ApeX_PN01

Man, I like it. Made my transition from Apple to Android easier too.


iamricardosousa

Another one with you. Liked how it was before, like as it is now. With age I've gotten used to see people complain about everything and everyone. I just ignore it.


3xBork

The internet, man. People are spending 5 minutes posting a thread to reddit to complain about a UI element that *sometimes* makes them spend 1 second extra when they press it wrong. All I can say is: I'm jealous of anyone's life for whom this kind of issue is important enough to spend energy on.


iamricardosousa

OP is slow with updates: *"Where are our updates? This company is not the same as before. OP is dead!"* OP makes regular updates: *"This update sucks! I don't like it!I want it to be as before the update! OP is dead!*


NamMorsIndecepta

How dare you like change, we don't do that here.

bikerboy3343

It's so annoying... That's exactly where I used to swipe down to open up all the options, and now I end up either changing the volume, or the brightness. More often, it's the brightness. Ugh! I also have to reach higher to adjust brightness, which I do quite often... It's inconvenient.


BlejiSee

Happened to me on a bright sunny day, pissed me the f off since the screen went completely dark


thatsamiam

You can still have auto brightness by pressing the light on the slider. Really bad design. Unnecessary change. No benefit. I agree with OP.


neo4777

It's not stupid........just an odd choice. So far, there have been like 2 occasions when the volume slider was genuinely helpful for me. Still doesn't justify it being there tbh. It looks alright but makes me feel like I'm using an iPhone copycat and concurrently makes me feel cheap(for being a copycat). Afaik, this change happened because Oneplus/Oppo are dying to please their Chinese users who are more attracted to ios. So it's safe to say that.......... https://preview.redd.it/asd2qz877r8d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8342a86502263e9dd3c292d38a9530332774a689


SmokeChaser426

Absolutely agree doing changes for change sake Just a thought


Coma_Divine

Putting the auto button INSIDE the brightness slider? Sure, you can get used to it, and then maybe the experience is slightly less shitty, but how does this design choice go through the first level of checks?


ffvorax

Agree, It Is much worse to reach now...


daretowatchme

Making it more like apple day by day.


Zangetsuee

I will never understand the brainless copying of Apple's ugly UI.


_ShyGuy_02

Like OnePlus really thought we like iOS but still buying OnePlus for some reason??? No I hate it, it's so ugly why're you trynna copy them??? (Yeah I get it, it's abt preference, but like try to be unique no? Try being an android because you're an android not an iPhone...)


grouchy_fox

I remember when one of OP's selling points was that their version of android was extremely close to stock. It's definitely one of the things that interested me when I got my OP3T. Making your launcher feel and act like stock with a few extra functions thrown in has always been the recipe for a ROM people praise, so it's weird that they're forgetting this more and more


ZombieFrenchKisser

One UI on Samsung was very good initially with moving options to the middle or bottom of the screen because naturally that's where your thumbs can reach. However they also shot themselves in the foot with the 6.0 update undoing all of those optimizations and moving most options to the very top of the screen. As far as asthetics my only gripe is it is clearly inspired (or ripped off) of Apple's iOS. I have always like Oxygen OS for being unique.


_L_Black

I don't mind having the option in settings but why am i forced to have it and it isn't able to minimize? I greed for more quick settings tiles rather than another bulky useless feature


Ayush_1602

Finally someone made a post on this! I thought I was weird for not liking it, it's annoying to operate a big phone with one hand and reaching out to this new slider. But useful in outdoor sunny environments (especially for people like me who operate the phone with auto bright off and lowest brightness)


sachingopal

Agree.


Pale-Change-822

Chemical-Turnover-84

That shit look soo damn ugly is like the Chinese company download an ios emulator and stamp it in there calling it an "update" and why the hell do we need the volume adjustment in the settings? There's litteraly a button that automatically done that in old android only the brightness adjustment is there i feel like updating the software makes it worse and worse instead of improving


J1nxArcane1508

Just bought a Redmi Note 13 pro+ and the quick settings are very similar, wide vertical bars for brightness and volume, looks ugly :/ https://preview.redd.it/vpc04940ix8d1.jpeg?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7313176ca750abaa3a014ebd8e81f55dfb15d80c


EssentialDuude

Looks like the iPhone settings at first glance


SkyLey2

I don't like it either. Way less practical


kaipulla_123

Agreed. We have the volume buttons for exactly this.


maniaxz

Since the phone is so tall, I think they should change from the top position to middle position and provide more customization to it. Also make notification panel different than cramming it into control center.


Postrich40

I love it. I finally don't have to change the position of the phone in my hands to lower the volume. It's easier to do it from there.


Postrich40

GooseIllustrious6332

Idk I dislike it. I can't peak at my notifications now. It's either fully open or closed. What's the point. I can get used to the sliders but the menu doesn't transition nicely. It either is fully open or closed. I lost buttons as well to accommodate a slider I won't use. Like other configs, I should be able to turn that off. But they won't listen. Shame on me for using a cell phone.


Oakw00dy

It's poor design. I end up inadvertently turning on auto-brightness almost every time trying to adjust brightness manually.


nope13nope

I just wish we had the option to choose what we want where. I don't mind the brightness being vertical, but I don't want a volume slider there; when would I ever use that and not the buttons on the side? I'd much prefer a longer brightness slider (it's too difficult to set it exactly how I want it cuz the slider is too small) down the right side and a reformat of the smaller icons. And I hate the thickness of the volume slider that's brought up by the buttons. Literally the whole point in android phones is that they're customisable. Give us options!


MotoMola

Can we get the option to remove Google feed from homescreen by swiping left if we're trying to copy IOS while we're at it?


TilapiaTango

I don't know. I'm right handed, and I like the swipe down from my right thumb and a quick adjustment. For me I like it.


Danihelus

Agreed


QuantumDucksQuark

Honestly, the recent changes are becoming so much like iOS. I'm tempted to leverage the return window and get the Sony Experia 1 V instead. At least their version of Android is slightly more vanilla. This OP12 has been a shocking contrast compared to my previous OP devices in the past. Every software update comes with bizarre UI/UX changes, and the parallels are apparent.

SmokeWeekly2110

I actually use it a lot at work I mean they could have kept it you guys are rite but I like everything so far


pksummer01

I like it


stowaway43

Me too


uncertain_being

They put it even higher, where is even harder to reach with a single hand. I swear, the UI/UX designers or the product managers who make these kind of changes are extremely incompetent and shouldn't have the right to work in such fields anymore.


smitvartak1138

I personally dont have any problem if they try to copy apple but the auto brightness button position keeps pissing me off


number31827

Yea, what a damn mess.


iHeymanth

they are not even customisable 🤦


RecklessTurtleYandex

I actually don't mind it and my wife (an iPhone user) appreciates it a lot. When I hand over her my phone, her muscle memory is not wasted :) Having said that, I really miss the old Oxygen OS before OnePlus is overrun by Oppo goons.


LoyalReek

This just made me feel a lot better about my OnePlus 7 pro


breezecement

I mean I like the design but I have been finding myself blasting the brightness to max when I try to push up and away the notification shade with my right thumb. Guess I just have to get used to it.


Beneficial_Math8586

I don't remember if I installed a custom ROM but I was definitely looking into it. Mine looks nothing like that. I'm on the OnePlus 9 pro.


CountAdept1640

China = Copy


Adventurous_Bass768

Does anyone else have issues sith the fingerprint after the update? It is not working at all and the logo remains on the screen after unlocking it with a different way. Tried it both in stock launcher and nova launcher...


Nutznamer

I absolutely like it. Sound wasn't necessary but the brightness


bikerboy3343

The horizontal brightness slider, with the option to turn automatic brightness on or off was way better, and ahead of iOS. This was simply a crappy design decision.


Crazydutchman80

All these complaining posts are becoming hilarious 😂, it's a volume slider.. Come on.


itsfraydoe

I like it


legitBro420

I like it 🤷


SS_Gourmet

I like it.


Major_Enthusiasm1099

It’s pretty much copy paste from apple, it’s honestly not bad imo. But I mean they didn’t even try to hide it. Lol


grouchy_fox

I also hated it when I used an iPhone. If I wanted an iPhone I'd get one.


Mezo123451a2

Similar ? I thought that was iOS for a sec.


teej1984

Doesnt bother me at all


External_Employment2

Agreed. I hated the brightness slider that way


JuraHoska

I was so glad to switch from xiaomi with this shitty brightness and volume layout and here we are again. Oneplus android skin feels more and more like chinese budget phones trying to copy apple


draw0c0ward

I also hate this change. I wish we at least had the option to change it back to how it was before. Making changes for the sake of looking like iOS urk me the most.


Head_Exchange_5329

First widen the volume bar to make it look hideous, then put it side by side in a vertical orientation next to the equally fat and disgusting light bar. Yeah I hate it, not sure if that much was clear.


SoComplimentsLG

I personally don't mind it. I think it's nice.


KrabbyMccrab

Never really occured as an issue to me. It takes some real estate I guess, but I'm rarely I'm this screen.


Top-Conference-3294

I really dislike Oxygen OS but at least its easy to custom ROM one plus phones.


justaguyonreddit2042

I hope I don't get cancelled, but I don't rlly mind these


Goedi42

I also don't care much either way, but I should be able to touch and hold the volume bar to change all the different volumes/get to app volumes/turn on subtitles. If I need to press a physical volume button for that anyway, the slider isn't very useful to me personally 🤷🏼


Azhoroth

I don’t understand this. What’s the point of buying android if in the end you’ll get last year iOS UI… I require uniqueness!


AZenny1986

Imo it seems oppo I mean oneplus doesnt give a flying ____of what the customer like or wants.   you avoided iphone for a android experience then you get ios like ui your phone is too fast oh wait let me prepare a update to slow your device down.


Relevant_Being_7014

I kinda like this one but the old one was better. I think they need to copy apple less and Samsung more. Bring some crazy ai features at least for photos and videos and voice assistant. Plus push back the old live wallpapers back and also add some new ones. Make battery optimization, also develop something like Samsung's good lock. And need to enhance ram optimization. Plus becoming generous enough to add 1 year of software update to OnePlus 10 pro and 10t


PlzJade_SoulHuntez

And now equal to Magic ui, hyperOS and even iOS. Wish they give us more customisation to adjust our preferences on control centre layout. I didn't say it's bad but ya, that freaking bad lol (since oxygenOS merge with colourOS) and everything now just seem similar without differential , realme ui too🗿i couldn't complain much since vivo did the same before they move out to new ui interface since 2020. Wish BBK come out with new fresh idea on 2024 and not recycle same thing again.


Shook_Rook

I would predict that all these icons and toggles will also change with the next OS update similar to how iOS provided customization for their control center. Yeah I don’t really like this brightness slider even on my iPhone as well.


Randall_Lind

I use Nova Launcher but I still have a widget the side of my phone screen. I also hate how they make it so hard to reboot your phone or to turn it off. I had to install an app to help me shut off my phone or reboot it. It is called power menu I shouldn't have to have to use that but it's so damn hard to hold three buttons to shut down my phone. I used to be able to hold the power button down then they shut down menu would come up


xRVAx

Yeah I accidentally take a screenshot every time I want to reboot because I forget that it's power plus volume up


Randall_Lind

Me too. LOL Then when I need a screenshot it doesn't take one. I fixed that you can add a screenshot icon to the notification area.


1foty73

Which update is this? I just got one and mine doesn't look like that


Plenty-Art-9159

It's grown on me tbh


backwardsman0

Can't standdddd this change, much more difficult to just adjust the brightness. Even though change is a good thing, this might be just annoying


PerformanceOk3617

Lol yeah it's kinda shitty plus I just started noticing my flashlight/torch shuts off if my phones lightly dropped or set down I don't think that was part of the update or a broken connection inside


d_think

I like it. Now that the volume buttons are on the same side of the phone as the power key, it's too easy to accidentally turn it off. Especially with a protective case. And it's easier to change the output device because your finger is already on the screen  I don't care that much about the brightness slider one way or the other, but onscreen volume conto is a plus. 


d_think

Also, I don't use iOS, so I don't know what it looks like in comparison. 


LoneWolfAMG

Which update is this so I can avoid it?


BlejiSee

I think from 14.1.700 something like that


OkMathematician6638

Am I the only one that doesn't care? Maybe because I use both android and iOS.


CarClean8528

This is in fact fantastic. Enjoying New Oxygen OS. OnePlus is more professional now than to cater to the needs of few Enthusiasts community.


brispower

You get used to them but I don't like them at all.


lcopelan

Hate it. They're just copying iOS at this point


TriflingHotDogVendor

I got used to it in like 2 hours.


sedp23

Its not bad at all imo


RIK_66

Not one of the ... Rather The most stupidest change


The_Enderslender

whats with the applefying of chinese phone ui's


Electronic_Hat_9549

iOS inspired


bigb102913

I really like it. It's fresh.


shaamgulabi

this is so useful I don't have to press buttons everytime, I like it. if it's a good feature what's the problem in copying it?


Perfect-Connection11

I love this change tbh


AxelRED_

I don't really care about this UI design, for example if your volume buttons stop working this is pretty useful


BlejiSee

Be honest, when did your volume buttons ever stop working


spewak

I like it. Of course I may be obtuse because it took a day or so for me to recognize it, but I like it.


xDev92x

Wow looking at the comment section, I'm the only one who loves it lol 😂


GerardVincent

if you dont like it, then uhh just dont use it?


Alveuus

I really hope they change this dogsht with oos 15


Revolutionary_Tomato

Agreed, last one was much better


tomeevu

It's a good addition especially if you're busy cooking or doing something where you only have one finger available. But they should really make it optional for people who don't wanna use it this way.


Crazy_Reindeer_Fin

This is shit, i already hate this color os and now this. My last three phones have been op, next one might not be.


solteiro1234

I like it ❤️ more usable now!


Jervylim06

I hate this so much!


I_Forgot_It_

My only problem is that it makes my phone look like a cheap copy of iPhone when it is still costly


xRaffaell

Oneplus is trash since 6T


top-c-krets

As someone who swaps back and forth ios and oos. This works in my favor for familiarity


rsss30

I am done with OnePlus will switch to samsung or apple now


Krokogator

I got used to it but my first thought was the same that this is stupid.


AndyB3rry

Never been happier to have switched to LineageOs


Outrageous_Cupcake97

What's wrong with it tho


Squiggles70

Not fussed by it, myself.


BetaTestaburger

Feels like they tryna make it look like Apple, I don't like it.


godsperfectidi0t

Remember oxygen os?good times


Sheshirdzhija

The entire control center, and especially the fact they put Now Playing there, is so dumb. I don't like MIUI/HyperOS, but they got it right, in splitting notifications and control center. You get more area for notifications, AND for toggles, and it's second nature when you get used to it in a day.


AK_h3re

I end up accidentally enabling auto brightness while sliding the brightness bar...annoying as hell.


DizzyGuarantee

Is this on the latest OTA? My OP12 is currently horizontal on 14.0.0.604(EX01)


BlejiSee

This change is with 14.0.0.700


Jepbar_Halmyradov

And you'll tap on auto brightness not knowing at least 5 times a day & accidental volume drops are an issue with it too


fishplay

I actually like it a lot. But I do agree they should give you the option to move it elsewhere if you don't want it there


nothinglikeaanything

Indeed


LUV_U_BBY

Laughs in iphone 7 the most superior iphone Edit: wait this is a chinese phone?


iThrow2

Stupid place to put yes but hey it came just in time, 2 days before update my volume keys died. So, actually useful for me.


WeAreSolarAF

I like it, considering how often I change Bluetooth and brightness (auto doesn't do much for me)


deaftourette

I like it. Easier access to volume AND brightness for me at once.


pnkcloudsummer

I absolutely hate the setup, the way it was before was way better. And why the hell did they change the time on the lock screen from saying it once really big to saying it twice next to each other but smaller, also stupid


NICHOLASTARUN

Will the OnePlus 12 get any custom rom?
