My flow "failed to connect"

@marshallvisions Same here. Sadly, this solution, the only one that works, costs the entire flow history, a several years' worth of it. It got me really mad I see a similar functionality appearing in other apps, so I guess I'll be using Opera for now, but only until I find another option that works for me.

The user @kanczo suggested something in another related topic that worked for him and is now working for me as well. The 'fix' is outlined below:

"When your phone is on the 'Follow the instructions on the other device' screen, simply press the 'Overview' (app-switching) button and force-close Opera. When you relaunch Opera on your phone, the flow should already be connected."

I hope this works for all of you while Opera doesn't directly address this issue.

Thanks, @kanczo, for coming back and sharing your solution with us!

@bothpills Tnx man. This trick worked! Opera on Windows and Android 12. I force-closed Opera on my phone, and somehow it connected! I can now send links betveen my devices. Thanks for sharing.

@bothpills Thanks for posting that! It was the only solution that worked for me. I was going crazy trying to get the flow to work after having to reset my sync data yet again.

This shit feature never ever worked at all. Do not try to look for answer or ask questions spend time for it. İt has been always buggy always pain in the ass.

OPera team cant get stability on the browser. While getting good things for it they broke others.

Atm i have a major ram usage in other words slow browser lagging browser, sttutering browser issues.

16 ram updated win 11 all other things. Legion 5 pro laptop.

I have this issue on and off all the time. The way I found around it this time was when the code appears on the screen, click "Didnt match". It forces you to log into your opera account in-browser. Once you do, go back and try again. It should work now.
