bring back font size and text wrap, this is the only reason why I was finding Opera mini better than the other browsers
why did you remove it?
i have been losing a huge amount of time reading faq and trying to find it in the new settings menu, just to find out it was removed without telling anybody about it

Guys, if you still wanna see the glory days of Opera Mini 7 - the text wrapping, font size changing option, and other goodies, DITCH the latest then search and download "YANDEX OPERA MINI". Still on the App Store. PROBLEM SOLVED, EH?;) This safari-like Opera Mini 8 is USELESS unless you bring back those useful options! Reinstalling the Single column view option is NOT enough!

Hello...
I have used opera mini on my iPhone for the past couple of years for work saving pages under different file names, since the new Opera update, all of my old saved pages are still there, but have all lost their file names so I can't tell what page is what...
Is there anyway of getting the old file names back and saving new file names for future saved pages? Or is there a way I can get the old opera version back? I just don't like the layout of this and I only use it for the saved pages!
Any help much appreciated!

Few problems:
- No text wrap
- Sometimes I just want to scroll the page but Opera thought I did a double tap and hold to zoom in and zoom out of the page. It's very annoying.
Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the new Opera mini.

Thanks everyone for reporting the problems, we will work hard to improve our browser even more. If you ever encounter any problems, please report them on https://mini.bugs.opera.com - they go directly to our team. Now some responses:
Now here's a bug, I think. When you're on a website and want to add it to the Speed Dial, the 8 squares to the right of the Address Bar isn't working (at least for me). However, I can still get the site to the Speed Dial, but only by clicking on the Opera logo all the way to the top right, and choosing "Add to Speed Dial."
@lem729, This icon is supposed to take you to the Speed Dial page and the only way to add a page to Speed Dial is to open main menu and choose "Add to Speed Dial" as you already do.
Hi! The new update is great. But I found a problem with YouTube in Opera Turbo mode and saving of data. In any of these modes I could play any video from YouTube, only shows black screen. What someone has been the same?
Greetings!@deuzzy, It should work without any problems, but if you still have a problem please fill a bug report on https://mini.bugs.opera.com - tell us what is your device and country.
How can i save password to access to sites, without writing them every time? kind regards
@albone61, There is a password manager in new Opera Mini. If for some reason it doesn't work for you, please fill a bug report on https://mini.bugs.opera.com - please include a website where the problem exists and browser mode you use.
what the hell happened to the single column option
@isgaka, Single column view is now added back in version 8.0.1.
In Mini mode, I have access to the (now sadly reduced) opera:config options. In Turbo, I don't. Are there any configuration options for Turbo?
@jmwking, Yes, you can go to Data Savings menu, tap Advanced Settings... and choose image quality. What other options would you expect?
In Mini mode I can't seem to save passwords anymore.
In Turbo mode, opening a link with a page anchor (mostly to jump to a new post on a forum) doesn't work - or at least it doesn't seem to work properly in vBulletin boards.
Please fill a bug report form for both issues on https://mini.bugs.opera.com with details such as website on which you have problems.
get single column view back; though I rarely use it, when I need it it's fantastic
Single column view is now back in version 8.0.1.

Using version 8.0.2 on my iPad mini, I can't get the "discover" page to open articles in the background. I think it will be a great feature if long-pressing an article gives options e.g. "Open in background", "open" and "open in new page".

Hi Opera - good you are listening to input from the forum.
On 27 June I wrote: "Besides the data compression feature of Opera Mini I really like the: "Single Column View" + "Text wrapping" + "Zoom" This really improves the reading of websites on small phone screens. All 3 features are missing in version 8.0 which is very surprising to me."
So I understand Single Column View is now done ?
What about the Zoom feature where a user can set a fixed zoom percentage 75% 100% 125% 150% 175% 200% - this was another unique Opera Mini feature that disappeared with version 8.When will you bring back ?

Please add option to disable the "Discover" feature. It's prone to accidentally swipe to the "Discover" tab, it's not an issue at normal usage, but when set to opera mini data saving mode, people want to save data as much as possible (for whatever reason), so accidentally swipping to the "Discover" tab is defeating the purpose of using opera mini data saving mode.
I myself really like the Discover feature most of the time, but I hate it so much when accidentally swippping to it when on roaming.Thanks.

One thing is preventing me from using Opera Mini as my main browser: Cannot use Pocket.
Not only is there not the pocket integration that other iOS apps now have through "add to" or "share", but you can no longer add the bookmarklet because you cannot edit the URL of a bookmark in Opera Mini. (Which is weird for other reasons as well).
Please fix!

I don't seem to be able to edit a bookmark's url to create a bookmarklet. Is there a way to do that?

I reverted back to opera mini 7.0.5 (I have the backup of it in my hard drive).
I feel the version 7.0.5 is more comfortable to use;
+it runs better/smoother on my old iPhone 4.
+no need to worry of having accidentally swipping to "discover tab" when on data roaming.
+having ability to edit bookmark's url is a pleasure.
+copying text from websites is easier.
The only downside of version 7.0.5 for me is the UI feels old compared to version 8.0.xWhen I need better internet experience, I use safari (it's preinsralled, having good performance and speed, so why left it unused?) so it's a good combo, opera mini 7.0.5 for saving data, safari for full browsing experience.

I accidentally updated from 7 to 8 and began editing my history without first reading the change log. As a result I lost some history I did not intend to delete because the grouping UI is not intuitive. I thought I was only deleting the home page, because that is all that was displayed.
Suggested UI fix:
Instead of only showing
"m.facebook.com"put a symbol to indicate additional URL components. E.g.:
"m.facebook.com/*"
or perhaps better:
"m.facebook.com/..."Thank you.
