How to turn off pocket mode no utilites
Same issue for me, no utilities, can’t shut the damn thing off, One Plus technical support that was once great is now terrible, and this is likely the last One Plus I buy because of this.
Completely useless. There is no utilities menu.
Same here. No utilities in settings. The manual is out of sync with the phone and is useless.
Many other categories in settings have also changed – which shows that the OnePlus developers change what they like and there is no quality control.
