OnePlus: Reset App Preferences

App preferences on a OnePlus phone cover more than notification toggles. Disabled apps, blocked notifications, default app assignments, background data limits and permission restrictions all live in the same settings layer. Once you disable an app or restrict a permission by mistake, tracking down which toggle caused the problem takes longer than resetting the whole layer at once.

The Reset app preferences function clears exactly these settings without touching app data, cache or installed files. After the reset, previously disabled apps become active again, blocked notifications reappear, default app choices fall back to the system prompt, and background data restrictions and permission blocks are lifted for every app.

Open Settings ➔ System ➔ Reset options ➔ Reset app preferences ➔ Reset apps to trigger it. No confirmation screen lets you pick individual apps; the action applies to all installed apps at once.

Use this reset when several apps misbehave at the same time, for example missing notifications, wrong default apps for links or files, and background restrictions active together. If only one app acts up, check that app's individual settings first instead of resetting system-wide.
