      Hi Guys,

      i noticed that Opera Mini ALWAYS use the data compression. How can i disable it? In some situation the loading time is very long, and i don't need compression when wifi is enabled.

      Thanks!

            Well, if you're on iOS you can tap the red O at the bottom then tap the savings and choose whichever mode you want to use (Opera Mini, Opera Turbo or Off).
            Don't know if that's the same on other platforms.

              I'm using Android. Don't know what you mean with "savings".

                This one:

                As said, I'm using iOS. Maybe this screen isn't part of Opera Mini for Android at all.

                    I agree that opera minis main purpose is data compression & I don't believe u can turn it off in Android. I believe one of the mobile versions of opera you can turn on/off, like turbo or something, so just look into the versions (I got too confused by too many different versions at the same time) & install.
                    Problem solved, yes / no?

                      In case you don't want compression, you can just use Opera browser for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser
