OnePlus blacklisted most of the popular appsДЄccording to Anandtech, OnePlus has blacklisted a lot of popular applications from the PlayStore from accessing the full potential of the flagship chipset from Qualcomm. According to findings by Anandtech, OnePlus, on the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro is blacklisting popular applications to use the complete CPU resources, while it was not doing the same with benchmark. TechRadar India has reached out to OnePlus and is yet to get a response from the company.

It is supposed to optimize the performance of the phone in games in a way that prevents them from getting hot.
