Fail: The OnePlus Messages App requires Android 11 even though that has not been rolled out to all compatible devices yet (might become a security issue)
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/10/11
Too bad: if your OnePlus device is on the list of obtaining Android 11, the OnePlus Messages App already requires it, so it won’t upgrade which means you are missing out on any potential security issues.
App: [Wayback/Archive.is] OnePlus Messages – Apps on Google Play
Device: OnePlus 6 – Wikipedia
Android 11 is in a staged rollout since mid August 2021:
- [Wayback/Archive.is] OxygenOS 11 for the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T – OnePlus Community
