No Opera Sync Option on iOS

@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!

david27 last edited byRight there with you. I thought the normal Opera had sync in the mobile versions and Opera GX was the one that didn't have.
With all the innovation, Opera still doesn't have desktop notifications on PC and sync on mobile.
Any idea if the new Opera One will be the same? -

I downloaded the mac version of opera, set everything up and I was going to do this on my iPhone and realised that I can not sync. This topic was opened over 2 years ago and we still don't have the sync option... Opera is putting so much money into adds, but I think this is major thing for iPhone users to have and in many cases they see the add, try opera, think it is nice, can't sync and go back to chrome or safari... Opera is loosing so much money on this I think.

This is so disappointing! The fact that there is no bookmark/account sync option 3/4 of the way into 2023 is ridiculous, especially since this thread was started two years ago. I recently downloaded Opera One to my PC because of an ad from a Youtuber I follow, and I fell in love with the UI immediately. Now I'm going through on my iPhone and iPads trying to set up Opera there only to find out I can't synchronize across these platforms. It's such a shame because it is a truly beautiful experience to use. I know this feature is available on Edge and Chrome, so what's preventing the team at Opera from allowing this? It's really all they need to do in order to get so many new people on board.

I used Opera a couple of years ago, then switched to another browser, and a few weeks ago I downloaded both the Windows and iOS versions, assuming I can sync between the two.
I can't.
Dear developers, please enable cross-platform sync between iOS and Windows! -

My collaborators and I who have been using Chrome on macOS for years have switched with so much enthusiasm to Opera One that it is actually much better than Chrome. However, when we realized that it did not have cross-platform sync with Windows but above all with iOS we were shocked. It was a function that we totally gave for OFF in 2023. It is not possible not to have extensions and especially favorites synchronized. This lack is making us carefully consider returning to Chrome.
And the even more absurd thing is that none of the developers while reading this post give the slightest feedback at least with some future predictions. Is this the respect you give to your users?

@maxita Synch between Mac and Windows is there, maybe a different than you expect, but nevertheless.
Opera on iOS is another cup of tea. It only works partially through the Flow feature. -
