How to Save Your OnePlus Community Data Before the August 16 Shutdown

The North American OnePlus Community site is shutting down permanently on August 16, 2026. To save your forum posts, photos, and personal data, you must manually export them before this date using the built-in export tool in your account settings, as no automatic migration to the global site will occur.

Why is the OnePlus Community Shutting Down?

Following OnePlus’s strategic exit from the US and European markets earlier this year, the company is consolidating its regional operations. As part of this drawdown, the dedicated North American community forum is being decommissioned.

Step-by-Step Data Export Guide

If you’ve spent years building a reputation, writing guides, or sharing photography on the forums, you have until August 16 to save your history.

  1. Log into your OnePlus Community account on a desktop browser.
  2. Click on your Profile Icon in the top right corner and select Settings.
  3. Scroll down to the Privacy & Data section.
  4. Click Request Data Export.

It can take up to 48 hours for the server to compile your data archive. You will receive an email with a ZIP file containing your posts and images.

Where to Go Next?

With the official NA forums closing, the community is rapidly migrating to alternative platforms. The most active new homes for OnePlus users are the r/OnePlus subreddit and the XDA Developers OnePlus subforums.

FAQ

Will my OnePlus account be deleted?

No, your core OnePlus account (used for the store and device warranties) will remain active. Only the North American community forum profile and its associated data will be deleted.
