My Flow doesn't connect

Hello, I'm not new to Opera. I just did a clean new install of Opera on Desktop and I'm on the most recent version there. I even created a new profile here, so it's my first post with this (but not my very first one).
I loaded Opera on my iPhone. But I couldn't connect via My Flow. After trying this, it shows only my desktop PC connected but no other device. So it's kind of broken.
Is this a temporary server issue, maybe? -

@derhimmelssheriff I also have this issue, Running Version 105.0.4970.21 on Windows 11 Pro(work laptop) and Opera One Version 105.0.4970.16 on Garuda Linux(Arch based) and trying to get My Flow to work but so far nothing has worked. On iPad Air 5 im using 4.4.0(22) and same version on my iPhone 15 Pro. I have tried turning off My Flow on and off, verified all was on the same wifi network and bluetooth was on all devices. I have tried to connect on both Windows and Linux. No luck at all.

It's like that nobody from Opera really cares about such things, it seems.
There's also a serious bug about Two-Factor-Authentification, which seems to be connected to this issue, e.g. something wrong with synchronization.
But when you uncover it, there's no critical response by addressing the issue, but the one posting is being blamed for making a point here.
In the last 18 months or so I had a good time with Opera. But all enthusiasm is gone. It's not only about their product but even more how they treat their users.
I'm writing this with Firefox, btw. -

Confirmed. I can't connect My Flow to my iPhone. It's working on my Samsung Tablet though.

I don't have the option to connect My Flow from my iPhone. I hope they will address the issue with the next update.

I have been looking at Arc browser, but right now they are Mac only and I only have a Windows 11 Pro Laptop from work, my Garuda Linux Desktop, my iPhone 15 Pro and my iPad Air 5 but they are releasing a Windows version soon! I really like the design but I do need a multi platform browser that works great on everything. I mainly really use my iPad Air 5, iPhone 15 Pro and my work laptop so Arc would work if they also get a full ipad and iPhone version.

@papalpenguin I've heard about it and even tried an install on my Macbook. As far as I've seen it, it requires a lot of relearning. And I'd miss a localization. Although I could live with English, I'd prefer to have in my own native language. But that may only be a matter of time.
If they have versions for Windows and Android, and when their iOS version might really be called a browser, I'd might consider to use it. As long, I'm quite happy with Opera. I consider the issue with My Flow only as a temporary bug. -

@bhavatitdhyan I waited for the update. Make sure, that you have the newest version on the iPhone. It should work then.

They fixed some sync bugs recently. You have to be extremely specific and pray they respond lol. Also they wait weeks to fix stuff. -

My latest software updates on my macbook and iphone won't let me connect the main opera browser. Don't know if they will fix it soon but i hope they do.

So I just as easily can't connect Opera browser ios on iphone 15 Max Pro the flow with Opera on Macbook. I have already tried everything. Other networks, different networks, no Adblock, no DNS, no VPN. The Opera GX ios can be connected to the desktop Opera without any problems. So the problem must be with the normal Opera browser ios.
I need this function and I have to be honest that I think Opera is missing out on a development here. I use Arc more and more often and it is phenomenal in terms of Ki and how it is integrated via Short Link etc.. The new Arc Search Browser is also making good progress.
I still think Opera is very nice, but there needs to be more movement. Opera Neon was the option. But what can you say. Now all browsers are somehow the same. None better or worse than the other. Just a few advantages or disadvantages here and there. But no future-oriented Ui. Cheers

Like people here, I've tried everything. This is clearly a core software issue - not a config issue, not an update issue. Nothing. This is a massive problem. It's inconceivable that a browser can ignore the importance of syncing between desktop and mobile in this era. I've been dealing with this for months. It's too bad. I really want to not use Chrome. I hate Firefox. And Safari (desktop) is great...except for this deal-breaker connection/sync issue. Personally, I'm about to give up on them and check out Arc.

Same issue. I have all the latest versions of Sonoma / iOS / iPadOS / Opera. Mac and iPad browser connected with no problem via QR code. Mac and iPhone - always end with "connection error, please check your network and try again". Ad Block / VPN on / off - no combination fixes this...

I also have the same issue. Tested with the Opera Android, Opera Beta, Opera GX (Android) and on Desktop windows 11 Opera One(version: 113.0.5230.62). I'm trying to connect to My Flow from the side panel or from the opera.com/connect and it always fails. I can see this issue on the forum and reddit from 2018/2019 which is crazy that it is still not fixed and people are having issue with this.
I tried disabling adblock, trackers, extensions, log in/ log out. But nothing seems to work.
Is there some fix for this? Is it possible to get it working?
