No Opera Sync Option on iOS

@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.

@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).

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

Just got an iPad and not being able to sync is just bad, I bet it's because of dumb Apple policy... I hate the ecosystem they created so much, but sadly there isn't many "cheap" time-lasting tablets other than iPads.

Doesn't seem to be as chrome Firefox Brave and Edge all have great sync functions

@u1travio1et they probably had to give something up, like information or stuff like that to apple. I don't think opera's team just didn't implement sync randomly, I'm sure they thought of it (and they're probably still thinking about it), but reconsidered because of some trade-offs. Maybe opera just didn't get apple's approval, and they're still waiting for it, that's probable too but most unlikely in my opinion.

@lorypota think of what would happen to both privacy focused browsers Brave and Firefox if word got out that they had to give apple data to be able to sync? It's not a thing

@u1travio1et yeah that's true. But I bet that, with smaller browsers than firefox, apple's gonna try hard not to let them sync login infos without using their "apple lockchain" and same with all of the other data that can be related to a functionality already existing in ios. If you look it up brave can only sync bookmarks data and tbh that isn't quite what I'm looking for.
I honestly blame apple more than opera, on the unavailable sync, because I'm 99% sure the only reason it is missing is because of some guidelines or smth like that of apple. Still I can easily see how it would drag people off from opera and it is a big bummer to myself.
All I'm saying is that if opera's team could implement the sync with all of the devices there is, but not on IOS, it's most likely IOS doesn't approve/allow them to, instead of them just not adding that function or not being able to implement it, they surely aren't that dumb imo.
Sry my english is kinda trash. -

Brave on iOS syncs bookmarks, history and passwords and will have 'send tab to devices' in the very near future

So no sync' for iOS is a deal breaker across 5 devices for me. I've just finished installing Opera on 4 of them, along with my password manager. Now I have to uninstall all of them and go back to another browser that was kicking my OCD into overdrive...

still in Opera Help:
On your iOS device (Opera Mini 10 or later):
Open the Opera Mini app.
Tap the menu and select Settings.
Under Synchronization, tap the Sign In menu item.not very helpful imo

When can we expect a sync function for iOS? Without it, Opera is unfortunately not an alternative and I have to use another browser.

I would like to add my voice to this, I was planning to switch to Opera GX but without basic functionality like bookmark/password sync via Opera Account Login I can’t really switch completely over. Hope this base feature is added soon!
