Right after releasing the OxygenOS 4.1.5 for OnePlus 3/3T, OnePlus has pushed out the newest OxygenOS 4.1.6 update for these devices via OTA. I made an article to manually update OnePlus 3/3T to OxygenOS 4.1.5 version a few days back and if you had read that, there’s nothing new to guide you. The OxygenOS 4.1.6 is pretty much the same as you can directly download and apply the update.

If you’re a newbie and don’t know how to manually update OnePlus 3/3T to the latest OxygenOS 4.1.6, let me guide you for that. It’s actually an incremental update from OxygenOS 4.1.5 by fixing various issues which you can find below.

Manually installing OxygenOS 4.1.6 on OnePlus 3 and 3T doesn’t void the warranty as the builds are official and the chances of bricking are less. However, for your safety, I recommend you to backup all essential files and logs on your phone. The changelog of OxygenOS 4.1.6 includes:

New additions:
• Added system push notifications for important information from OnePlus

Special Note

The OTA files provided are for incremental updates. i.e, it only works if you were previously on OxygenOS v4.1.5 version. Do not attempt this update if your existing OS version is below 4.1.5

The full ZIP of OxygenOS 4.1.6 is also made available for OnePlus 3 & 3T. If you want to update your device using the sideloading method, you may need to download the respective file (which I have not provided here). Let me know whether you need that method as well.
