OxygenOS 11.0.8.8 rolls out for OnePlus 8/8 Pro w/ August patch, AOD screenshot feature, more

OxygenOS 11.0.8.8 is now rolling out for the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro most importantly with the August 2021 security patch, but with some added tweaks and features in tow.

This stable update was confirmed on the official OnePlus Forums and has quite the expansive changelog — especially for a year-old device, given the sometimes spotty support offered by the Chinese firm. Getting the August security patch is arguably the most important addition with OxygenOS 11.0.8.8, but like the Open Beta phase, you can add your personalized Bitmoji AOD to your lockscreen now too.

While the OnePlus Buds Pro are hard to come by right now, the OxygenOS 11.0.8.8 changelog also notes system tweaks to prepare for the new ANC earbuds. The dedicated OnePlus Store is also added to 2020’s flagship duo, but luckily you can uninstall this if you wish. It’s just a portal to the website and forums in one app rather than requiring to use multiple browser tabs. You can check out the full changelog below:
