OxygenOS 11.2.8.8 for OnePlus 9/9 Pro adds Bitmoji AOD, July patch, more

OxygenOS 11.2.8.8 is now rolling out for the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro with a number of new features including Bitmoji AOD plus the bonus of the July 2021 security patch.

Update: Correction from 12.2.8.8 to OxygenOS 11.2.8.8.

The update was confirmed as starting the rollout process over on the Official OnePlus Forums and should be available over the coming days after it has hit a small group of users before a wider expansion. First and foremost, the July 2021 security patch is what we would consider the most important new addition with the OxygenOS 11.2.8.8 update.

Bitmoji AOD allows you to add your personalized Bitmoji avatar/creation to the Always-on display. Over the course of a day, the on-screen character will move and change stance depending on a number of things including weather conditions and your current location. It’s not a groundbreaking addition, but it has been available on OnePlus 8 series hardware since late May.

Joining the July patch and Bitmoji AOD in this OxygenOS 11.2.8.8 OTA update is the OnePlus Store — which was launched in North America earlier this year. This pre-installed app allows you to get device support, access the OnePlus online store, plus get member-only benefits and discounts. You can see the full update changelog below:
