The biggest highlight of the new beta update is the new Bitmoji AOD feature which allows users to add a personal Bitmoji avatar to their Always-On ambient display. OnePlus worked with Snapchat and Bitmoji to make this happen. After installing this latest beta release, users can go to Settings > Customization > Clock on ambient display > Bitmoji to try out the new feature for themselves. Aside from this change, we’re looking at a pretty standard update changelog, with several small improvements and bug fixes to the system, camera, calling experience, and network. Notably, May 2021 security patches are also included in the update.
