Any help information for the iOS version of Opera for iPhone?

I’m specifically trying to figure out bookmarks. The only info I can find online doesn’t match the mobile user interface version of the browser.

@devans00 Opera Browser, former Opera Touch, doesn't have bookmarks.

Is adding bookmark and login sync to iOS Opera on the roadmap?

Adding Opera market share in NA where iOS is prevalent will be difficult.

I agree. This is an odd choice. I was just about to move off Chrome and onto Opera because of all the great enhancements it's made, but a key feature for me is computer to phone sync. Not having my bookmarks really limits the viability of the offering. I don't always browse on laptop and then continue on ios (flow). Sometimes I am just using the phone browser on its own and want to start from certain bookmarks.

Same, I was about to move off Chrome but the lack of synchronizations (except Flow which is close to useless) from Windows to IOS blocked me. It really is a bummer, I really like the Windows Opera browser it is such a great product, but men I wished it worked with IOS.

Very odd decision to omit bookmarks from the iOS version. The last browser I used that didn't have bookmarks was Mosaic back in 1994...

I just moved from Android to iPhone, and I immediately installed Opera on it, as sharing bookmarks, tabs and flow between Opera desktop and mobile was something I had gotten used to. What a bummer.

I've always enjoyed Opera, have used it for 10+ years, but this may be the last straw. Not having access to my bookmarks in iOS is a real dealbreaker.

Very odd decision. I'm all for simplicity on small screens. But what's the point in having a universe that allows data to sync between all devices if you can't access most of the shared data on some devices? I logged into my opera account on the device and watched as it showed me how many bookmarks (from my desktop computer) were now synced. And then ... I can't even browse then. What's with that? ‍️

Same here. Moving from Android to iOS and I don't believe how basic and featureless is Opera here. Sync is a must have for me. I guess there must be some troubles between Apple and Opera, otherwise I don't understand this.

@phobosop Apple doesn't allow browsers that aren't based on Webkit (Safari) on iOS.

@sgunhouse that may be true, but all other major browsers have bookmarks (Edge, Chrome, Firefox).

The only reason I don't use Opera is because it lacks bookmarks. And I'm not alone.

@sgunhouse every other chromium browser - and Firefox too - have full sync on iOS
