No Opera Sync Option on iOS

@paul-v1 The existing Opera for iOS was like a version of Opera Touch for Android but based on Safari. Now that Apple has been forced to open iOS to alternative browsers, I'm not sure if the company has plans to release a full browser for iOS in place of or even in parallel with the existing shell over Safari.. And not being an iPhone/iPad user, I probably won't know until they make a public announcement.

@ede-cal do you have a pc? If then, sync on the pc then login to your account on mobile

What he means is while there is no Sync option, you can still connect to sync.opera.com and have access to at least your bookmarks and speed dial there.

It's tragic that this still isn't the case. This makes the browser practically unusable.

Healing-Cross last edited byTo say something contrarian here: But I definitely like how the iOS works. I don't need this full scale synchronization feature on my iPhone, on the contrary. But I think, that's just a matter of taste then.

@xet-vergil there is no login option with Opera on iOS (just downloaded to actual version)

Leuchtfeuer812 last edited by@matthias-at-the-opera Yes, if you are looking for something like in the Android version. There is no „real“ synchronization feature for iOS.
But still there‘s My Flow which not only syncs items but also some further things from history. But you can hardly call that sync, actually.
And secondly you can sign in for using this forum and for using Aria directly in this app.
Most people don‘t understand, that Opera‘s synchronization works quite differently on the whole, even if you sync two desktop versions. -

@leuchtfeuer812 but if “most people don’t understand”, then the problem likely isn’t “most people” - it’s the product.

@david27 Yes, hardly any on iOS, but some elements still. I don’t bother actually, it‘s what I expect from a browser for a phone.

I expect if I'm on my phone and suddenly need to access a webpage I saw weeks ago on PC, to be able to search my history for it and do it. I want to have all my favorites synced, instead of having to manually add everything on my phone. That's not too much to ask.

You should be happy to go to sync.opera.com in such a case.

It's still not quite good enough, though. Full sync between all of the relevant devices/versions should be a goal.

I am searching for a non-usa privacy first browser.

@simmersimmer I agree. I downloaded Opera on pc and imported my bookmarks but when I downloaded it to IOS it won't sync anything.
definitely a deal breaker for me...

@kenmissouri Same here. I am using Opera for desktop but still safari for iOS.
It's a shame because it's actually a great product.
