Good. Slider button should go side to side like Apple's, NOT up and down.

I love the Alert Slider. I put my phone in silent vibrate mode when I'm outside and I can easily get it back to ring notifications when I'm back home.

Anonymous, 11 Mar 2025I thought the alert slider was a key feature of OnePlus phones.Probably the last one remaining, since every other OnePlus "DNA" feature is long gone.

But oh well, if you can't relate or have empathy for the matter, that's cool. Perspectives I guess.

End of an era. The alert slider is the reason I looked at OnePlus when it was the time to upgrade. Glad I bought the OP13 since there won't be another OP phone with the slider moving on. I understand why this change is happening but I would prefer if they lowered the power and volume buttons and put another button on the top left of the phone instead of removing the slider altogether. Could work as a camera button as well with that placement.

The reason why I bought OnePlus smartphones was because of the alert slider. If it is not there anymore then I can finally shift to Samsung. Bye

As I said, OnePlus settled a while ago.
Meanwhile, Nubia has a multi-purpose slider!

The *real* reason for the change is that Apple moved to an Action Button and OnePlus can't keep copying an old design

> The vast majority of people only use their phone in one sound mode (vibrate/silent), and changing it constantly is pretty uncommon.
I don't know which "vast majority of people" that are you talking about, but me and majority of people that I know, even my friends from abroad, uses normal mode in normal condition, and vibrate/silent mode in quite place. It's literally common sense to do this.
And nope, not everyone owns (or wants to own) a smartwatch.

Why Oneplus can't keep their identity and ignore "The Fruit" company's BS button where you can't even tell whether your phone is in ring or silent mode just by looking at it!

NeonHD, 11 Mar 2025> 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯 Hmm, ... moreEven at home, I use it quite often. For instance, if I'm expecting a call while I'm doing something (cooking food, doing chores, etc.), I'll switch it to ring. Idk about non-working people, but for a working adult like me, it's a crucial feature. It's so crucial to me that I don't even consider phones from other brands when buying a new phone.
