Quick answer

OnePlus is discontinuing its North American community forum, shutting it down on August 16, 2026, and migrating users to ColorOS 17 with optional rollback to OxygenOS.

OnePlus has officially announced the shutdown of its North American community forum. The platform at communityus.oneplus.com and its corresponding app will be disabled on August 16, 2026. Until then, users are advised to save important materials—posts, images, guides, and other data—as these will become inaccessible after the deadline.

In place of the regional community, the company will launch a global Discord* server where users can engage in discussions, though official technical support will not be available. Invitations to the new server will be shared in the coming days. OnePlus emphasized that Discord* will not replace support channels but will serve as an informal communication hub.

As part of these changes, OnePlus confirmed that the transition to ColorOS 17 for supported devices will be optional. OxygenOS users can decline the update, and those who install the new firmware will have the option to revert to OxygenOS. The company has promised to share rollback procedure details later. Devices not included in the ColorOS 17 list will continue receiving updates according to the current schedule.

**** Discord is restricted in the Russian Federation.
