OnePlus 5/5T OxygenOS beta adds May security patch, group MMS, and more

OnePlus's OxygenOS Open Beta program is a great way to try out new features before everyone else, and today the company released versions 10 and 8 for the OnePlus 5 and 5T, respectively.
There's a fair amount to unpack with this latest update, with one of the most notable additions being the May security patch. Having a secure Android phone is essential, and it's always reassuring to see OnePlus so on-the-ball with these patches.
As for user-facing changes, there's a handful of goodies to find with the OnePlus Launcher, including a new Toolbox Card in the Shelf, a section in the app drawer called Hidden Space, as well as support for editing dynamic app icons (such as the weather, clock, and calendar).
The OnePlus Switch app has received a minor UI update with some under-the-hood changes, and a long-time bug causing group MMS to not work has finally been patched.
OnePlus is rolling out (opens in new tab) this update now, and if you've already got your OnePlus 5 or 5T enrolled in the beta, you should receive an OTA update in the coming days.

Am I missing something or was group MMS actually not a feature supported in that OS before this. I don't have this phone, but the last time I had a phone that didn't support group MMS was an HTC Windows Phone in 2013.

The stock messages app does not support group MMS. However, you can replace it with the far better Google Messanger and you then have full group MMS.
