OnePlus has heard you: New one-hand mode in the works

OnePlus is constantly improving Oxygen OS with new features and support for stuff its community members ask for. The custom Android skin is pretty good with updates. Most recently, the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro got their Android 10-based Oxygen OS 10.01 update. Now, we hear that a future Oxygen OS version might bring in support for one-handed usage.

Replying to a user’s query about one-handed usage, a OnePlus staff member wrote on the company’s forums, “We are working on the one hand mode. Please stay tuned.”

OnePlus’ phones this past year have all had display sizes ranging from 6.4-inches to 6.67 inches. With such large and wide displays, it becomes difficult for users to reach the corners or edges of the screen with one hand.

Gesture navigation on Oxygen OS already improves one-handed usage on large-screen OnePlus phones. If you want to make one-handed usage better on your OnePlus before the company rolls out the official update, you can download Nova launcher. The popular launcher offers many more gestures for one-handed use.

Another suggestion would be to make your keyboard smaller. OnePlus phones use Google’s Gboard keyboard by default, which also offers a handy one-handed typing mode. You could also try SwiftKey for further shrinking the keyboard for one-handed use.

Got any more one-handed usage tricks? Let us know in the comments section.

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
