- The latest OnePlus 12R update includes the BeaconLink app, which allows offline calls via Bluetooth.
- The app can only be used to call others with it set up and across relatively short distances.
- Also included in the OxygenOS 15.0.0.500 update is a Touch to Share feature and the January 2025 Android security patch.
Plenty of phone updates come and go without adding much new functionality, but OnePlus 12R owners are starting to receive a new way to communicate in the OxygenOS 15.0.0.500 update. The update, which is being incrementally rolled out now, allows you to effectively use your device like a walkie-talkie.
As detailed in a OnePlus community forum post, the update adds the BeaconLink app, which allows you to call people within range without an internet connection or mobile signal. Using Bluetooth, it works within a 10- to 200-meter range, depending on interference.
