General bug fixes and improvements
The company issued a notice that users who want to revert back to Android 7.1.2 Nougat-based Open Beta will have to flash a special build because of the massive changes in downgrading from one Android version to another. These users will also lose partial data, unlike the ones who want to update to this Open Beta version for their devices.

OnePlus highlighted that these builds are for beta software and they may not be stable for daily usage. The company will not accept any complaints about lost data if users go ahead with installing Open Beta builds. Interested OnePlus 3 and 3T users can head to the forum for more detailed instructions. This comes a day after the company rolled out the update for OnePlus 5T, and two days after it teased Open Beta for 5T. The company posted Android 8.0 Oreo update for OnePlus 5 users almost a week back.
