Heyy guys,
I own an oneplus 3 and the bootloader is been unlocked and I've rooted the phone successfully.
So the main issue comes here is that the OTA update of Android Nougat is out and i am wanting to upgrade to it.Normally if a phone is not rooted the data is safe while updating to new versions, when I try upgrading the firmware it shows a message that you have root access and after installing the update your phone will be unrooted, I am in a certain doubt that will my personal data's such as picture apps and all stuff would be safe or all gone as far as my knowledge extends when unrooting a phone the phone gets a clean firmware
Thanks in advanced ✌️

Never assume your data is safe. Backup anything you cant afford to lose, as if the phone suddenly fail in the next moment because that is the truth of it. We never know when our devices will fail so we have to plan and be ready for it.
