OnePlus 13R gets new OxygenOS 15 update with privacy, photos, and UI upgrades

OnePlus has started rolling out the OxygenOS 15.0.0.860 update for the OnePlus 13R in India. This build is coming to a limited number of users first, with a wider release expected in the next few days. It includes new tools for photos, enhanced privacy, subtle UI improvements, and the latest security patch. Here’s all you need to know. 

What’s new in the OxygenOS 15.0.0.860 update?

The new OxygenOS 15 update, with build number CPH2691_15.0.0.860(EX01), brings a new set of notable changes and upgrades. Animations now feel smoother when interacting with Live Alerts and notifications on the lock screen, giving the phone a more fluid user experience.

In Photos, a new map album has been introduced, allowing you to view pictures with location tags directly on a map. Additionally, if you move photos from the Private album back to public, they will automatically return to their original folders, making file management easier.

Private Safe and Locked albums now allow users to change privacy passwords directly from each secondary page, making it simpler to keep sensitive data secure. The Phone Manager app has been upgraded as well, now showing daily and weekly screen time statistics under App Management, giving users more insight into their usage patterns.
