I do not believe this is entirely accurate. Sure, yes, OnePlus creates the software but, then it’s shipped to T-mobile for further modification before being released as an OTA update. Which adds in their T-mobile apps and features. Over on the OnePlus forum, no one else is having the chatbot show up other than phones that where purchased through T-mobile. A conclusion could then be made that if OnePlus did indeed make this change in software it would be on ALL OnePlus devices not only the T-mobile variants.

Again if this was a OnePlus thing ALL OnePlus phones would have the chatbots. Is there a better explanation as to why only the T-mobile variants of the OnePlus phones are the only ones reporting chatbots showing up in the messaging app? Do we think OnePlus with their own money, time, engineering created a special version of their messaging app just for the T-mobile variants? Who do we think would have told them to do that? Software for all brands of phones (OnePlus, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc..) is generically built and then sent to all the different cell phone service providers to add their own flavor and apps which is why the build versions differ from T-mobile, Verizon, Sprint, etc... etc… for the same exact phone. The same things happens with computers you buy a dell you get a load of “bloatware” that dell installed and modified specifically for their products. We’re not here to argue and point fingers at providers vs manufactures or discuss the nuances of who did or didn’t do what. We are all collectively here trying to find a solution to a problem.

I suspect this starting to be a larger question with other brands of phone seeing the same thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/UniversalProfile/comments/hevevj/chatbots_on_tmobile/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Seems to be related to RCS functionality on devices. Installation of a non-default chat app is a workaround not a fix. As the default messaging app cannot be removed (with in The confines of maintaining a warranty) from the phone only disabled.

It was on the OnePlus SMS. I removed the stock SMS and Chatbots went away.

if youre using the stock messaging app then you will need to bring this up with the manufacturer..the carrier will have zip to do with the stock stuff on the phone itself.

What OnePlus device do you have? Are you using the stock OnePlus messaging app? Nothing like that on either of my OnePlus 7 Pro's.
