OnePlus is one of the companies that typically adds an alert slider to its phones. It\u2019s a super convenient way to silence your phone without waking it. However, as useful as the alert slider is, OnePlus might change it.
\nAt this point, we don\u2019t know too much about what the company plans to do. That\u2019s pretty shocking, as the company\u2019s co-founder, Pete Lau, posted an extremely lengthy forum post about it. What we can say is that there will be changes coming to future OnePlus devices.
\nOnePlus could change the alert slider
\n\u201c[A]s much as I love the Alert Slider, I kept asking myself the same question. How can it do more?\u201d This is something that Lau said in the post. He regarded the alert slider as one of his favorite features on the company\u2019s phones. Its popularity was the reason that it made its way over to Oppo phones.
\nHowever, all things must change at some point. \u201cOne of the most common requests we\u2019ve heard over the years? \u2018Let me customize the Alert Slider.\u2019 And honestly, I wanted that too\u201d said Lau. So, the company is going to move away from the alert slider and instead settle on a customizable button. This is something that people have been begging for for years. We\u2019ve seen several phones with dedicated Google Assistant buttons, but most people would have preferred a button that could summon anything.
\nWell, it looks like this is the route that OnePlus is going in. However, Lau didn\u2019t only say that it was going to be a customizable button. He referred to it as a button that adapts to you. That\u2019s a pretty odd statement, but it points to the company wanting to do something different with the button. We\u2019ll have to wait to see what that means. In the post, he mentioned that there\u2019s not much he can say now.
\nWhile future OnePlus phones will get a customizable button, the company will still find a way for people to silence their phones without unlocking them. Again, he didn\u2019t provide a ton of information. Anyway, we know that we\u2019ll see some difference down the line, and we just hope that it doesn\u2019t fix what ain\u2019t broke.
