Lots of touching up on this article, but content is still pretty dry. Would like to know if there is more than AI-pushing and forced ToS acceptance

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.

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 -->


==Actually disabling AI Writer==
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 Android Debug Bridge (adb). The following command uninstalls AI Writer from a connected device and removes its system integrations:
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
  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.
