How can I hide my location in Opera Touch (ios)?
Do I need the config file? If yes where to find?

@wilmawasalbezet On the Android version, you will be asked to allow a site to view your geolocation. isn't it the same on the IOS version?

There is no setting to globally block the use of geolocation.

@leocg thanks. Maybe I wasn’t totally clear. When I’m in Opera and I look in my Google security settings, it still sees my country. Although I use VPN. I click the lock in the url bar, but don’t see any option to disable geolocation.

@wilmawasalbezet If you go to Google Maps for example, are you asked about geolocation?

@leocg no, its already seeing my country. Also in my Google account, in security setting I see my device in my country. This means Google knows in which country my device is.

@wilmawasalbezet If you click on the padlock badge, do you see anything related to geolocation?

Are you logged in to Google?

@wilmawasalbezet !

On Apple devices you get this screen:

If by accident you've already pressed this you change it the the device's settings

@wilmawasalbezet So you already had given access to your location before?

@wilmawasalbezet The padlock icon on the address bar, that usually shows that you are on a secure page.

@wilmawasalbezet What More Details says? It seems some info sent by you device and not by an app.

this is what Leocg was talking about, in the settings of iOS are the location settings for Opera Touch, not in the app itself. as all web browsers for iOS have to use Safari as their base
