@rejzor Just because you use Flow as a replacement for Sync, it doesn't mean that it is.

@leocg I don't use it for anything because it's useless trash. The fact that Flow came in and Sync was dropped, don't you think that means Flow replaced Sync? What kind of weird logic you're even applying here? Jesus...

@rejzor Flow is not new, it is about three or four years old. It co-existed with Sync and still does on Android.

@leocg So, why it can't "co-exist" on iOS too? And don't tell me same lame excuses how iOS browsers aren't really whatever they are elsewhere. I don't know why Firefox can perfectly sync stuff. And how Opera could with Opera Mini before they sacked it. Or how Chrome, Edge and to some degree Brave (buggy but it has sync).

@rejzor Don't know, maybe there are limitations on Apple Store that led to Opera Mini being removed and only Opera Touch, that doesn't have Sync even on Android, being available.

How stupid is this!!
Why can't features be the same across devices???

Would really like to use opera. But syncing tabs, history and passwords automatically like every other browser out there really is a must.

Really hope they wake up and gets this sorted.

@nischi85 It seems the lack of sync will result in reduced usage for Opera. If it does, maybe they will get a clue and fix it. I still minimally use Opera but no longer depend on it because I can’t access bookmarks on iOS.

It's such a shame really, I love the 'on the move' feel to the browser, it's so easy to use quickly. But, Edge / chrome / Firefox has shown us that full syncing on iOS is completely possible and working as intended

Opera Browser, former Opera Touch, doesn't have Sync.

Then implement it it is a vital feature.

@leocg - Yes. That is exactly what people are pointing out. Out of aggravation with Google’s extensive reach on my digital life, I switched and fell in love with opera on android/pc and just made the switch to iPhone. Now the entire password library I built doesn’t sync, and I can’t save new ones on iPhone? It really seems silly after coming from an entirely better experience.

@mattj Keep in mind, Leo and I are just volunteers. Neither of us works for Opera. Venting to us doesn't help.

@dawgcarter01 are your passwords available too?

@sgunhouse My bad. I am also a noob here and strangely didn’t see much of the rest of the convo on this before I responded.

Your response that I commented on helped make it clear that the sync feature isn’t available. Is there any workaround for this on iPhone? Anything that would help save me hours of transferring passwords to a new browser would be helpful (if not to opera).

@mattj Not an Apple user, all I can suggest is that desktop versions of Opera can export logins as a CSV file (comma-separated values, a type of text file) which you could then print or read to see all your passwords.

Your best option is to use a password manager on your desktop version (like Bitwarden) you can then easily transfer your passwords to it, then install it on iOS (or Android) = all passwords everywhere
