To set up your OPPO Reno11 5G (running ColorOS) to automatically download and install software updates in the background when connected to a Wi-Fi network, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Open the Settings app on your device. [1]
  2. Scroll down and tap on About Device (or System and Update depending on your specific ColorOS sub-version). [1, 2]
  3. Tap on the ColorOS banner or Software Update at the top. [1, 3]
  4. Tap the three vertical dots icon located in the top-right corner of the screen. [1]
  5. Select Auto update (or Auto updates) from the drop-down menu. [1, 2]
  6. Configure the following two key settings:
    • Auto download: Tap this and select Wi-Fi (or Wi-Fi or mobile data if you prefer, but choosing Wi-Fi ensures large software updates won't consume your mobile data).
    • Auto update overnight: Toggle this switch ON. [1, 2, 4, 5]

How it works

Once enabled, your phone will automatically download system patches in the background whenever you are connected to a Wi-Fi network. To minimize disruption, the phone will wait to silently install and apply the updates overnight (typically between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM) when the device is idle, plugged into a charger, and not actively being used. [4, 6]
