OnePlus released OxygenOS Open Betas for the OnePlus 5 and 5T just two days back, and now the Chinese company has released new beta builds for the OnePlus 3 and 3T.

You will be able to find the toggle for raise to answer call feature in
Gestures under the Settings menu

The changelog for both Open Beta 32 (for OP3) and Open Beta 23 (for OP3T) is same. Here's the changelog:

Phone

• New auto pick up gesture (answer an incoming call by raising the phone)

Gallery V2.5

• New design for Collections tab
• Added reorder function for Collections
• Added recently deleted Collection

OnePlus Switch

• Added support to migrate application data, allowing you to switch between devices seamlessly

System

• Updated Android security patch to 2018-02
• General bug fixes and improvements

Those users who are are on an old beta build will be getting an OTA update for the new build. If you are using the stable version of OxygenOS, you can migrate to the beta path by following the links in the source. The beta versions of OxygenOS are meant for testing, and aren't as stable as the official OxygenOS builds (stable builds). Additionally, once you install the OxygenOS beta, you will only receive the beta updates. Moving back over to the stable version of OxygenOS would require you to wipe the data partition which will erase all your apps, contacts and messages. Being on the beta software allows you to try out the new features as soon as they pop up, even though they may not be stable enough. If you feel adventurous enough, you can give the beta builds a shot by referring to the links below.
