OnePlus 5T home screen tips

Create parallel apps: If you have both work and personal accounts for various social and messenger apps, it can be really frustrating to keep switching between them. With parallel apps you can clone Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Twitter and Instagram among others and have an app for each account.

Go to Settings> Apps> Parallel apps and choose which of the supported apps you want to duplicate. The parallel version will then be added in your app drawer, and indicated by a small orange badge.

Change which apps show full screen: With the 18:9 ratio display, some apps might not display correctly. To change that, head to Settings> Apps> Full screen apps and choose an app to switch it back to 16:9.

Change number of app columns: Tap and hold on the home screen wallpaper and hit "Settings" and then "Home screen layout". Now you can choose whether you want three, four or five columns of apps on the home screen.

Change app icon size: In the same home screen layout menu you can choose between three different app icons sizes.

Change app icon shape: Press and hold the home screen wallpaper and tap "Settings" then "Icon pack". This lets you choose between three default options: OnePlus, Round and Square. You can also download custom app icon packs from the Play Store by tapping the "More" option.

Open app shortcuts: Some apps have a list of shortcuts that pop up on the home screen. Press and hold an app icon, and you'll get those pop-up options above the icon. These only appear on compatible apps. Some won't respond this way.

Pin app shortcuts to home screen: When you have the app shortcuts showing, press and hold one that you want to pin to your screen, and drag it where you want it. Now you'll be able to perform that action just by tapping the shortcut that's permanently on your home screen.

Disable app shortcuts: Press and hold the home screen wallpaper, hit "Settings" then toggle "App Shortcuts" to the off position.

Add widgets to Shelf: Shelf is a custom screen that sits to the left of your main home screen.

Customise Shelf widgets: In the shelf, you can press and hold the top widget to change the text displayed, or choose to disable the weather information. Press and hold any of the other widgets, then drag them to reorganize, or press the red "X" to delete that particular card.

Disable Shelf: For whatever reason, you might just decide you don’t want the Shelf. To disable it, head to your regular home screen, then tap and hold the wallpaper. Choose "settings" then switch the "Shelf" toggle to the off position.

Swipe down for notifications: You can access your drop down notifications by swiping downwards anywhere on the home screen. This gesture is enabled by default. To disable, press and hold the home screen wallpaper, choose "Settings" and toggle the "Swipe Down" off.

Change screen resolution: Head to Settings> Display> Display size, then move the slider along the bottom of the screen until the icons and text are the size that you want them to be.

Change battery icon: With OxygenOS you can choose what battery information you want to see in the status bar. Go to Settings> Status bar, then tap "Battery style" and choose which style battery icon you would like.
