OnePlus brought the feature to the beta channel of OxygenOS with Open Beta 3 last month and now the feature is being extended to every OnePlus 5 user through the stable update of OxygenOS 5.0.2.

Aside from face unlock, this update of OxygenOS includes enhancements for Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) for video recording, a CPU security patch, and updates to several system application. Here's the changelog:
