Here’s what OnePlus told us about HeyTap’s US shutdown

Recent communications from HeyTap, the Oppo-affiliated company responsible for the OHealth and HeyMelody applications, have stirred some concern among OnePlus users in the United States. An email notification indicated that US account services would cease on September 28, prompting questions about the future of app functionalities tied to OnePlus devices.

Transition to a New Platform

As users pondered the implications of this announcement, many expressed worries about losing access to vital health metrics and firmware updates. However, OnePlus has assured its users that there is a plan in place. A spokesperson clarified that all US user accounts and community content will transition to a new, US-hosted platform beginning September 26. This migration aims to enhance user experience while preserving historical contributions.

In a statement provided to us, the spokesperson emphasized,

“All your content remains tied to your OnePlus Account and will be preserved regardless of which platform you choose.”

This reassurance suggests that the core functionalities of the OHealth and HeyMelody applications will remain intact during the transition. Users can expect to retain their health data and device settings as their accounts migrate to the new platform. Furthermore, OnePlus customer support has echoed this sentiment, indicating that the discontinuation of HeyTap’s US services should not impact the performance of OnePlus applications.

While the communication surrounding this change may not have been as clear as some users would have preferred, it appears that there is no immediate cause for alarm. OnePlus is committed to ensuring a seamless transition for its users, allowing them to continue enjoying the features of their devices without disruption.
