    Exposed collecting IMEI, app usage and other user data; system ultimately merged into ColorOS

    In 2017, security researchers found that OxygenOS collected IMEI, MAC addresses, app usage and behavior logs without explicit consent and uploaded them to servers; OnePlus said it was to optimize the experience and promised to stop. In 2022, the unified system plan was canceled; in 2026, OnePlus announced that OxygenOS would ultimately be merged into ColorOS, sparking dissatisfaction among overseas users. Manufacturer rectified.
