OnePlus is rolling out a new update for the OnePlus 13 model in India. The update includes new features for the device’s BeaconLink and Private Safe.
As expected, the OxygenOS 15.0.0.850 update is coming in batches in the country, so some users might get it earlier than others. It brings the August 2025 Android security patch for system security enhancement, but its main highlight is the new capabilities it brings to the handheld.
According to the changelog, users can now share images and videos, customize image or video album covers, and sort and view pictures and videos by time in Private Safe. The phone’s BeaconLink feature has also been enhanced, enabling it to send text, image, and voice messages to nearby users.
