OnePlus admits it collects private data of smartphone users, promises to stop by the end of October
Furthermore, OnePlus owners can opt-out of usage analytics collection by heading to Settings / Advanced / Join user experience program. However, users can't avoid device information collection, which is supposed to help OnePlus to provide “after-sale support.”
The good news is OnePlus promised that by the end of October, all its smartphones running OxygenOS will be added a prompt in the setup wizard which will ask users if they want to join the company's user experience program.
Moreover, the company claims it will no longer collect telephone numbers, MAC addresses and Wi-Fi information going forward. Finally, OnePlus says that it only did it to “better serve” its users.
