Community forums for other regions, such as India and the global OnePlus forums, seem to be functioning normally and continue to receive new posts and updates.<\/p>\n<p>A few reports of the issue have also surfaced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/oneplus\/comments\/1rt88e4\/oneplus_community_app_is_broken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">on Reddit<\/a>, where some users say the US community has seen very few announcements or updates in recent weeks, despite other regional forums hosting discussions about software updates and device news.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2025, the company announced operational changes that moved US users from the global community platform to a dedicated US forum and Community app. Under the change, accounts registered in the United States could only log into US-specific community services starting September 26, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, OnePlus said the move would create \u201ca more localized experience\u201d for its American users with tailored services.<\/p>\n<p>However, the separation also means US users can no longer log into the global community using their existing accounts. If the US platform experiences issues, affected users may have no alternative official forum to report bugs or seek support.<\/p>\n<p>The situation also comes at a time when questions about the company\u2019s future operations are circulating online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnePlus North America continues to operate, with full guarantee of users\u2019 after-sales support, software updates, and rights commitments,\u201d the company had said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear whether the current US community outage is related to any internal changes or simply a technical issue. We\u2019ll reach out to OnePlus to ask whether the US community platform is experiencing an outage and when it might be restored.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
