The update is supposed to squash most of the known bugs, but the company still advises users to contact them if any issue is found after updating by dialing *#800# through the Google Dialer app on the phone.

OnePlus 12R users can check for and install the update by going to Settings > About Device > OxygenOS > Check for Update.

The update will appear on the device if it is available, along with the complete changelog and update size.
