      The latest version of Opera for desktop says that opera for android now has my flow. I downloaded opera to my android phone. When I click 'connect my phone' on the computer it tells me to open Opera touch on my phone. If I try to connect to my flow from the phone it fails because the computer did not accept the request. I tried to connect with the qr code and by signing in. Is there some simple set of instructions to get this to work.

        @ppclarke You need to go to https://www.opera.com/connect and sync your Opera for Android with your Opera for desktop.

          I tried that. I went to opera on my phone-settings-sync and back up-my flow ( which was the only option not on). When I switched on my flow I got the message to go to opera.com/connect. I scanned the code and got the message-failed, connection declined by other device on my phone. I tried to connect from my flow-settings-connect a phone and got the message-To use my-flow, you need to set up syncing between devices and go to opera.com/connect. I am signed in on both devices and have sync everything switched on. However, on the phone, when I turn on sync everything my flow stays off.

                @ppclarke, I think that it is because that some phones don't support "my flow" (like Huawei 7i, it is android 10) I was facing that problem too

                    @oraculo really?, then I think it is because those phones (that I mentioned before) doesn't support google, so I searched the internet and now I am using gspace

                        @thebestgameryt Tip: In a forum, it's (almost) never a good thing replying to an one and a half year old post unless it you, maybe, has the ultimate solution for the problem being discussed.

                          @thebestgameryt Your Android has Google Services? I'm not sure but I guess Flow depends on it
