The Chinese manufacturer Vivo yesterday released the OriginOS 6 May 2026 update for the eligible Vivo and iQOO devices.

Here are the details

OriginOS 6: May 2026 upgrade

Changelog (Translated from Chinese to English)

With Little V Photo retouching, you can edit your photos directly from your album with a single voice command. You can change a person’s hair colour and add accessories. Multiple new colour styles have been added, and the colour palette can be customised for more personalised creations.

In the photo album, multiple new watermark styles have also been added, and watermark parameters can be customised to meet the needs of more usage scenarios. The company has also added a new upgrade to the photo album browsing page, users can customise album pagination, sorting and layout and freely adjust display methods. You can pin frequently used albums with one click, and the pinned album can be added to the top for quick and convenient access. The photo album supports categorisation by media type and allows for precise searching of photos and videos by camera mode. The photo album folders are categorised by day, supporting quick searching of photos and videos by date for more efficient browsing.

During charging, Atomic Island can display charging speed and power information in real time, making the charging status clear at a glance and more visually appealing. Users can now long-press to bring up Little V Writing in the system clipboard menu, allowing for efficient creation and editing. There is also a Portrait lock screen rotation feature; the rotation switch appears automatically, eliminating the need to repeatedly toggle portrait mode lock on and off, tap to rotate.

Meanwhile, a smart in-vehicle system enables switching to a mobile map. The functions you frequently use on your mobile map app, such as searching along your route, avoiding the road ahead, and parking at your destination, can still be used on the car’s infotainment system for a more seamless experience.
