The update is supposed to squash most of the known bugs, but the company still advises users to contact them if any issue is found after updating by dialing *#800# through the Google Dialer app on the phone.

OnePlus 12R users can check for and install the update by going to Settings > About Device > OxygenOS > Check for Update.

The update will appear on the device if it is available, along with the complete changelog and update size.

The phone is getting the update in an incremental manner in India, which means that the update isn’t going to get pushed to all units at one go.
