The Gallery gained the highest number of improvements such a new design for Collections tab, a reorder function for Collections and recently deleted Collection.

OnePlus Switch, the app that allows users to switch to newer devices easier, now features support to migrate application data. The new option that wasn't initially available will surely make the whole switching process much smoother.

But there's also a new auto pick up gesture that should allow OnePlus 3 and 3T users to answer an incoming call by raising the phone. It the same gesture that's been added to the other, newer OnePlus smartphones.
