For all the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T who are interested to sign up for the beta test will need to follow some simple steps. The user will need to sign up for the closed beta programme first to be eligible to test the OxygenOS 9 build on OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T. The interested users must sign up to the programme before 2 PM (GMT) on March 23.

The testers will have to flash new builds the moderators on the OnePlus forums notes, and since it is a closed beta programme, the users must not expect the software to be smoother. The software will come with lots of bugs that are expected to get resolved in the stable build.
