In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of Digital Wellbeing and Google UI being broken in the Settings menu on their OnePlus device. The OEM’s underlying OS skin is soon facing the axe due to the company’s another one of those weird marketing decisions. But till the time that doesn’t happen, it seems to be facing its own fair share of issues. A slew of complaints has lined up across various forums where OnePlus users have reported that the Digital Wellbeing and Google menu are a little bit out of proportion on devices.
While the rest of the options in the Settings menu are part of your current theme and are highlighted by the darker color, Digital Wellbeing and Google remain unhighlighted and are also a little bit left ‘extra’ aligned as compared to the rest of the menu. What is even more concerning is that this issue isn’t limited to just one OnePlus series. I could personally confirm it on my OnePlus 7 series, and users have already listed the complaints about the 8th and the Nord series.
Moreover, the issue first came to light after the Oxygen OS 11.0.4.1.HD65AA update that came out at the end of October. So it has been a month but there has been no acknowledgment from the OEM, let alone any fix. With that said, there do seems to exist a couple of workarounds that have been known to fix the issue of Digital Wellbeing and Google UI being broken in the OnePlus Settings menu. And this guide shall make you aware of just that. So without any further ado, let’s check them out.
