TL;DR

• OnePlus and OPPO could introduce a new feature to their earbuds that automatically detects when an earbud drops out of your ear.
• If you lose an earbud, your earbuds will play a sound and an alert will be sent to your phone that will help you find the fallen earbud.
• You may not receive an alert if the “Notifications” permission is turned off or the app is terminated.

Have you ever lost an earbud because it unexpectedly fell out of your ear? OnePlus and OPPO appear to be working on a new feature that could help save you from suffering such a fate again.
