New OnePlus update gives phones and tablets the ability to auto-unlock PCs

OnePlus has introduced a new OxygenOS 16 update for both phones and tablets, adding the capability to automatically unlock PCs with the mobile device. This update is set to reach all users by November 19, 2026. The move aims to enhance cross-device functionality between smartphones and PCs, a goal that Microsoft has also been pursuing through features such as a Mobile devices tile that enables functions like toggling Do Not Disturb mode, adjusting volume, and playing sounds when the phone is misplaced.

However, OnePlus's latest update goes a step further in bridging the gap between devices for PC users. This week, the company announced the rollout of its November update, with phones receiving version C20P01(BRB1EX01) and tablets getting version C20P01(BRB3EX01).
