Users of OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T received a new version of Open Beta for their Android devices this morning. This is already the second update of the Open Beta versions this month and this time although the list of novelties is smaller, nor does it cease to be crucial.

Especially for anyone who was worried about their privacy, in the course of the controversy surrounding the "Clipboard" on Android. In question would be the alleged sending of information to a server in China. However, the brand categorically denied each of these allegations. However, he would not stop there and end the matter now.

The Chinese manufacturer decided to remove the evil by the root and end with the application Clipboard. This, despite being inactive in OxygenOS (global ROM), could give rise to doubts in the customers of the brand. Subject that we had already explained here at 4gnews. Now, for the sake of clarity, the application is eliminated from Open Beta.
