History is not permanently deleted

I've found a temporary solution until Opera fixes it.
Unfortunately, it's quite a pain because you have to delete each history entry by swiping left and pressing the delete button. In this case, the history is deleted permanently.

What I really miss on this forum is the interaction of Opera staff. No one bothers to answer. The forum is run by Opera, so the lack of communication from Opera staff really sucks.

In the meantime, I discovered a more friendly way of deleting history.If you have a long history and want to avoid deleting entry by entry do the following.
Go to the menu and select the option to clear history, then open any web page, go back to the history and delete this entry manually, i.e. swipe left and press the delete button. After that, the history will remain cleared even after you clear Opera from your iPhone's cache.

Even the new version 4.6.0 of iOS/iPadOS Opera has not fixed this bug. It's an easily and fully reproducible bug, so it remains a mystery to me how Opera can ignore such an annoying bug.

Another way to permanently delete history and perhaps the most convenient is to leave at least one webpage open, then you can delete history in the Opera menu and close the open web page. After that the history remains cleared even after you clear Opera from the iPhone's cache.
Regardless, this is still a bug that the Opera devs need to address!!

Its a known issue and we have a fix ready that is about to be released. However, the update is currently stuck in Appstore app review, so it got delayed. Once we have sorted out the issues it will be available.

But we could/should interact more.We appreciate the feedback nevertheless

Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
As far as I'm concerned, I try to only post important bugs or wishes. Well, actually I only have one and that is the full sync feature for Opera iOS/iPadOS. I've been using Opera since the good old Presto days. Actually, I have it on all Win & Apple devices and the lack of full sync on iOS is really giving me problems. So hopefully one day I'll be gifted by Opera devs.
