OnePlus India has introduced a new update that expands the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13s’ bypass support to other tasks.
The OxygenOS 16.0.3.501 is now rolling out in India in batches. The update includes several new features, including Photos app photo editing, January 2026 Android security patch, and more. Nonetheless, its main highlight is the expansion of the bypass charging support to other tasks.

It initially focused on games, but the new update now allows it to be activated in other tasks, including live streaming, watching videos, navigation, and more. More smartphone models and devices are expected to support the expanded bypass charging feature soon.
