OnePlus 12R Gets BeaconLink App and More in OxygenOS 15.0.0.500 Update

Earlier, at the beginning of January 2025, OnePlus rolled out OxygenOS 15.0.0.501 for the OnePlus 12, which introduced the BeaconLink app. Now, this same BeaconLink app is being brought to OnePlus 12R users through the OxygenOS 15.0.0.500 update. Currently, this update is limited to India, but it is expected to be expanded to other regions soon.

Other additions in this update include the Touch to Share feature, which supports iOS devices, and the January 2025 security patch. It’s worth noting that this is the second update for the OnePlus 12R this month. The first update, rolled out earlier this month, brought several AI features but did not include the January 2025 security patch. This new update now addresses that by adding the security patch.

If you’re in India, look for the firmware version CPH2585_15.0.0.500 for this update. There have been no reports of any issues with this new update so far.
