The updates also pack general bug fixes and improvements, new password setting in Hidden Space, and new Fnatic mode for an immersive gaming experience. The updates are rolling out in a phased manner, and the users are recommended to install them as soon as they get notified.

OnePlus 6T users are receiving the OxygenOS 9.0.16 update, whereas the OnePlus 6 users are getting the OxygenOS 9.0.8 update. The company says that the over-the-air (OTA) rollout is incremental in nature, and it will reach a small percentage of users initially, with a broader rollout scheduled for a few days later. It is better to install the update over a good Wi-Fi network and when the phone is on charge.

The latest updates bring the August 2019 security patch for OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T. To recall, OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7 users were the first to receive the security update, even before the Pixel devices.

As per the changelog, the OxygenOS 9.0.16 and OxygenOS 9.0.8 updates bring an optimised pocket mode, a fix regarding an issue with apps failing to respond, and a fix for an issue regarding unlocking of apps using fingerprint when the screen recorder is on. The update also packs a new Quick Reply option in Landscape mode, and it can be enabled in Settings > Utilities > Quick Reply in landscape.

The latest updates also bring a new password setting in Hidden Space, a new Fnatic mode for an immersive gaming experience, additional Zen mode features, support for DC dimming, and support for VoLTE/VoWiFi for Bouygues. As mentioned, the updates include a slew of general bug fixes and improvements.
