Recent developments suggest Google may enhance OnePlus’s Live Alerts feature to provide sports scores for fans. An APK teardown of the Google app’s latest beta indicates that this functionality could be integrated with Oxygen OS 15 on OnePlus devices. This addition would allow users real-time updates on sports events, similar to the Now Bar feature seen on newer Samsung Galaxy smartphones. However, as of now, neither OnePlus nor Google has officially confirmed the release timeline for this feature.
The introduction of Live Alerts by OnePlus was a response to Apple’s impactful Dynamic Island feature. Notably, OnePlus executed this feature quite well, even surpassing Apple’s implementation. Nevertheless, there remains potential for further enhancements, particularly with Google’s assistance in bringing sports scores to OnePlus phones through this Live Alerts system. The APK teardown reveals that the Google app contains code hinting at the capability to deliver sports scores via Live Alerts.
A recent configuration file includes references to the OnePlus Live Alerts feature alongside the Samsung Now Bar, suggesting a comparative approach in delivering notifications tailored to different devices. If the sports scores feature gets approval, the Google app would ascertain whether a OnePlus device supports Live Alerts and then provide sports updates accordingly. This efficiency allows sports fans to receive timely updates without disrupting their usage of other phone tasks. While the feature’s launch remains uncertain, it signifies a step forward for OnePlus users who enjoy staying updated on sports through unobtrusive notifications.
We will continue monitoring developments and update as new information becomes available.
