With the launch of Android 16, OnePlus pushed their AI tools on every smartphone I own. They are very hard to disable for anyone non tech-savvy.
 
==Consumer-impact summary==
<!-- Article title should be formatted as "OnePlus AI Tools and Mind Space" or something similar to match the official branding  -->With the launch of OxygenOS/Android 16 in November 2025, OnePlus released a set of AI tools built into the operating system.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Wang |first=Winkey |date=2025-10-16 |title=Welcome to OxygenOS 16: Intelligent, Smooth, and Unmistakably Yours |url=https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1957479645918003201 |url-status=live |access-date=2025-12-01 |website=OnePlus Community |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20260114230739/https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1957479645918003201 |archive-date=14 Jan 2026}}</ref> The AI Writer tool can be partially disabled, but doing so requires you to accept a terms of service agreement.

==Consumer-impact summary==<!-- Do these AI tools have other concerns besides being unwanted? Automatic opt-out data collection? Telemetry? Annoyances, unwanted integrations?

OnePlus AI is a set of tools that is supposed to help you search more intuitively, be more productive, help you with your daily tasks, etc.
It includes a few apps:
*AI VoiceScribe: live translations
*AI Writer: text generation
*AI Call Assistant: in-call translation
*AI Translation: live, conversation, image, screen translations
*AI Notes: summarization, cleaning up, formatting, text generation, ...
*AI Perfect Shot: helps you correct small imperfection on your photos (closed eyes, missing smile, ...)
*AI Unblur: self-explainatory
*AI Reflection Eraser: self-explainatory
*AI Eraser: self-explainatory
*AI Detail Boost: image sharpening and enhancement
*AI Clear Face: mix of everything to get your faces unblurred, more detailed, ...
*AI Reframe: Automatic reframing of the picture
While those features may be useful for some, the fact they were forced installed and opt-out after the fact is an issue.
Moreover, it can be tricky to disable them.
==The issue with disabling==
Besides the fact it's opt-out and installed/enabled by default, the issue arises when you try to disable a few of the features : you are almost forced into accepting their privacy policy before having access to the disable button.
I have made a little video here that will demonstrate what I'm talking about : https://youtube.com/shorts/EaGJsftd3fc
==Actually disabling AI Writer==
The only way I found to disable it once and for all was to delete the app via ADB.
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oplus.aiwriter
This will only disable AI Writer, which is the one that was still displaying for me after disabling in the settings.

Moreover, it can be tricky to disable them.
These features are forcibly installed with OxygenOS 16 and have to be opted out instead of opted into. <!-- Same as prior comment, isn't this true of most new features on any device? Make the specific grievance, like the features intruding on your normal phone experience, or data collection, or forced connection to internet services -->


====The issue with disabling====
The AI Writer tool can be partially disabled, but doing so requires you to accept a terms of service agreement. To fully disable the AI Writer integration in context menus, the user must uninstall the application using [[wikipedia:Android_Debug_Bridge|Android Debug Bridge]] (ADB). The following command uninstalls AI Writer from a connected device and removes its system integrations:
Besides the fact it's opt-out and installed/enabled by default, the issue arises when you try to disable a few of the features : you are almost forced into accepting their privacy policy before having access to the disable button.
