OnePlus 13 5G OxygenOS 16 Incremental Update
According to OnePlus Official Community post the version number for this OxygenOS 16-based update is CPH2649_16.0.5.701(EX01). While it is classified as an incremental update, the file size is notably larger than usual. It has recently been released to the public; while all users will eventually receive it, the rollout will be staggered according to a specific timeline. In the meantime, you can manually check for the update by navigating to Settings > About device > Check for updates.
What’s New
One of the new features you will notice after installing this update is the option to automatically open received files. Thanks to this new functionality, any file shared via WhatsApp or other applications will automatically open immediately after it finishes downloading. Note that this setting is generally disabled by default, so you will need to enable it manually. Additionally, this update introduces the ability to run multiple timers simultaneously. If you wish to set two separate timers for two different tasks, that is now possible.
This update also provides a clear indication of exactly when your set timers are due to expire. Furthermore, you can now easily share content directly from cloned applications. This feature proves particularly useful for instance. When sharing content if you utilize the “Dual Apps” feature to run two instances of an application, such as two separate WhatsApp accounts. The update also includes a “Motion Cues” feature; thanks to this new addition, the motion sickness or nausea often experienced while using a phone inside a moving vehicle may now be significantly reduced. Additionally, it includes the March 2026 Android security patch. This will further strengthen the system’s security and address any vulnerabilities.
Important Points

Before installing the update, ensure that you create a backup of your device. Furthermore, if you encounter issues such as battery drain or overheating after installing the update, please wait for a while; these issues often resolve automatically.
