It’s important to be able to quickly switch between Silent, Vibrate, and Ring modes even when your phone’s screen is off. However, convenience shouldn’t come at the cost of reliability. Although the OnePlus Alert slider is a useful feature, some customers have reported issues with it not working anymore.
The now-famous alert slider has been a defining characteristic of OnePlus devices from very early in its history. Only OnePlus devices, not iPhones, have this switch.

However, physical components like the Alert Slider can malfunction in some way. We are discussing one of the company’s most recognizable features, the only one in the Android universe to incorporate an actual slider to change the audio profile.
