Of course, this is because of the many hours spent in the comfort of their living or even bedrooms with pretty much little to do other than enjoy a good old movie or series.
The issue has been reported by multiple owners of OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and even the newer OnePlus 8T – the only three OnePlus devices currently running on OxygenOS 11.
However, the download issue does seem to disappear on other devices like OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro running OxygenOS 10 based on Android 10, implying this is an OxygenOS 11 thing.
Indeed, a OnePlus staff member has come out to confirm that OnePlus will be working hard to address this issue, but there is no ETA for the said bug-fixing update.
As you wait, a community expert has suggested the workaround below, although it has its own downsides – that you will only be able to download videos in poor quality, that is, below HD.
To know when this issue and many others in OxygenOS 11 get addressed, keep an eye on this post.
