OnePlus might be preparing more bloatware for your phone

OnePlus appears to be gradually introducing more bloatware on its devices, despite traditionally offering a minimal number of pre-installed apps. Recent incidents, such as an error during a software update on the OnePlus 12 that attempted to install random apps, have raised concerns among users. Although OnePlus claimed this was a mistake and rectified it, evidence suggests they may be planning to include more pre-installed apps or app suggestions in the future.

Leaked code from OnePlus hints at potential new bloatware, including a "Must Play" games folder and additional apps like Fitbit and various Amazon services. While these changes are not yet live, they indicate a possible shift in OnePlus's strategy towards including more pre-installed content, raising questions about the future user experience on their devices.
