When this company first launched, many people were not attracted to it. When they entered competition with Apple, many users preferred to buy only OnePlus phones. The reason is that they are getting such high-quality service compared to a much more expensive phone. Undoubtedly, OnePlus has established a strong foothold in high-end smartphones.
Later on, users will have more expectations from OnePlus since it is the only smartphone company looking to change the industry. As a result, OnePlus introduced a data analytics program to help them improve. It collects the user’s usage data, as well as some sensitive information, to analyze their needs and preferences. But now people want to disable it, so here’s how to disable it.
How to Disable OnePlus Analytics from Collecting Personal User Data
I agree that the OnePlus team wants to know what services people use on their phones. While it is acceptable, it can be considered wrong when done without user consent. Since sensitive information is collected, it is essential that OnePlus users either proactively ask for or provide an option for that on their phones.
Additionally, they have hidden the option to disable analytics. On the other hand, this analytics program is enabled by default, so you can’t turn it off. It is mainly used to gather information, which is why it should be disabled. OnePlus Analytics collects the following information about you: your phone number, phone’s IMEI number, MAC addresses, IMSI prefixes, mobile network names, lock/unlock history, and more. After reading that, I am sure you are eager to disable it, so let’s have a look below.
- The first step is to install ADB on your PC.
- Then enable USB debugging from the developer option.
- Now open command prompt and connect your PC with Phone using USB cable.
- Next type “adb shell” to enter ADB Shell.
- After that, enter the following command to disable Analytics
pm uninstall -k --user 0 net.oneplus.odm- Lastly, press enter and let the program disable OnePlus Analytics.
However, this will disable data analytics on your OnePlus Phone. However, it is possible that you may receive a few notifications from them. You can stop all that destruction through Settings >> System >> Tap Experience Improvement Program. From there disable all the destruction you want. Regardless, if you want to completely remove the app from your phone, follow the steps below.
- Download the OnePlus Analytics disabler.
- Then open the root file manager and allow root access to your phone.
- Now look for OPDeviceManager.apk under OnePlus System Service.
- In the previous step, delete the file using root explorer.
- That’s it, you will no longer be tracked by OnePlus Analytics.
Conclusively, OnePlus Data Analytics is a convenient way to analyze consumer preferences. But I think they need to work on it, I mean they need to remove a few things from it. They track all the essential things which are very sensitive. And ultimately they are causing user privacy issues. We have now explained how to disable as well as completely remove it. If you still have questions, feel free to ask them all below.
