Latest OnePlus 3 and 3T update brings Face Unlock, new app shortcuts design, more

OnePlus promised to bring Face Unlock feature to both the OnePlus 3 and 3T smartphones and even did that via an open beta update that users could install if they wanted. However, the latest OxygenOS update makes the feature available to everyone owning either of the two OnePlus smartphones.

But Face Unlock is not the only new feature introduced in the latest OxygenOS 5.0.3 update for the OnePlus 3 and 3T. The Chinese company added the May security patch as well, along with improvements to Launcher, Gallery, File Manager and Weather apps.

Launcher

Refined Shelf UI design
New design for App shortcuts
Supported more options when long pressing an icon

Gallery

Places: a map view of photos by location
Supported sharing photos to Shot-On-OnePlus
Added "Recently Deleted" collection

File Manager

Added “Large files” category

Weather

Added new widget for Launcher
Improved the positioning accuracy
Adjust refresh interval for weather information update

OxygenOS 5.0.3 update is delivered OTA (over the air) in waves, which means it will reach a small number of OnePlus 3 and 3T owners in the first few days, but a broader rollout afterward will bring it to more users.
