        @nelsonrah In Touch for Android there is a setting to make it the default browser. Try checking if there isn't a similar one in Touch for IOS.

          Go to Opera Settings and scroll down to the Default Browser, and select Make default. That's it.

            @nelsonrah You can't currently change the default browser in iOS. Some apps will let you change what browser they open links in.

              Starting with iOS 14, Apple now allows you to change the default browser on your iOS device.

                @guthriex This is true, but iOS 14 hasn't been released yet and the functionality needs to be incorporated into the App. It is not an option that I have found in the current developer beta.

                  Firefox
                  Edge
                  Chrome
                  DuckDuckGo

                  all can be set as your default browser on iOS 14 right now, with Brave coming shortly

                  even with the lastest update (2.4.6) which came out today the option is not there

                      I have iOS 14.2 and you can make Opera Touch your default browser in it.
