OxygenOS 14 features: what’s new

Here’s what you will get as per the OxygenOS 14 changelog:

Fluid Cloud is an iOS Dynamic Island-like feature that works only in the clock app and the screen recording app. For example, if you set a timer and minimize the app, a cloud-like element appears on the status bar. A long tap on it shows a detailed view and a single tap on it opens the app itself.
File Dock is a drop-zone to save files temporarily. You don’t have to switch between two apps. Rather, save the file in the File Dock and open the app where you want to share it or paste it, swipe left from the right edge of the phone to open the sidebar, tap the File Dock option at the top and drag the saved file into the destination app.
