OnePlus 7 (Pro) Proximity Sensor fix for WhatsApp issue problem (deactivate proximity sensor)

This workaround is for problems that are caused by the proximity sensor of the OnePlus 7 (Pro), for example when you are listening to audios on WhatsApp and the sound switches from the ear to the loudspeaker and back.

You have to activate developer settings. If you don't know how that works, google it, it's one easy step.

Then you can find an option to add a "sensor off" tile to your quick controls, as shown in the video.

If the tile is activated, all sensors will be turned off, which includes camera and microphone. Therefore, this doesn't fix calling issues and has to be manually deactivated to use the other sensors again.

Anyone else facing notification issues in whatsapp when screen in locked???

[augustkravtsov]

It was not easy for me to follow the video without commentation. It looks a bit different on my phone. Opening the other shortcuts was even a red herring, as the desired shortcut was already in the top row.
