OnePlus rolling out first OxygenOS update of 2025 with these new features

Following its schedule of releasing new OxygenOS updates, OnePlus is now rolling out the January 2025 update that adds a handful of new features, delivers some fixes, and more.

Back in August 2024, OnePlus announced a new series of updates for OxygenOS that would be delivered “monthly” to devices. That schedule has held up, with updates in September, October, November, and December of last year, and now the first update of 2025 has landed.

The January 2025 update for OnePlus devices, V30P01, brings various updates to OxygenOS apps and features. The Photos app now has a repeat mode for videos and provides “cleanup suggestions” for freeing up storage. There’s a preview for weather info before you add a city in the Weather app, and the Partial Screenshot feature will no longer show a floating preview window after taking the screenshot.

Perhaps the most useful addition is the ability to simply take a photo of a remote to add it to the IR Remote app.

The full changelog follows:

Photos

  • Now you can zoom in or out in the Bursts album.
  • Videos can now be played in repeat mode.
  • Photos now provides cleanup suggestions that you can delete photos with a tap to free up space.
  • “People” and other smart albums can now organize photos more accurately.

Recorder

  • Adds recycle bin to Recorder where you can view or recover deleted recordings in 30 days.

Weather

  • Now you can preview weather information when adding a city in Weather.

Screenshot

  • Removes the preview floating window after taking a screenshot to improve the user experience of Partial screenshot.

Phone Manager

  • Now you can select and clear one or more risky apps on the Virus Scan Result page.
  • Improves the app cleanup feature and adds app reset and app uninstall features.
  • Now you can turn on features related to theft prevention via “Tools – Security Protection”.
  • Adds access to privacy protection functions in Tools.

Notes (Only available on OxygenOS 14 & OxygenOS 15)

  • Now you can change the font size of the body text in Notes.

IR Remote (Only supported in specific models and only available on OOS 15)

  • Now you can take a photo of your remote control to add it to your device.

System

  • Improves system stability.

These additions are rolling out over the course of January to all actively supported OnePlus devices including Open, OnePlus 12, OnePlus Pad 2, OnePlus 10, and even OnePlus 8. The update can be applied to OxygenOS 15, 14, and as far back as 13.
