@kanczo Didn't work for me because I never see "Follow these instructions...." Just wondering if I'm missing something obvious?

@melving24 Sadly, I get a blank white box instead of a QR code. I just don't know what to think. And on my phone, I open Opera's scanner and it won't scan. Just sits there.

@kanczo said in My Flow: Can't connect desktop and phone topic:

I found a solution th the problem described by OP.
When your phone is on the "Follow thee instructions on other device" screen, just press the "Overview"(switching apps) button and force-close Opera. When you relaunch opera on your phone, flow should be already connected.

It worked for me, it may not work for you, but i'm trying to help as much as i can.

Worked for me. Thanks.

Need to not use the flow option on the sidebar, just go to opera.com/connect in a new tab. Then you will need to disable opera's own tracker blocker. Should be straight forward instruction following from there.

@biske bro u just saved me. apparently opera is just not redirecting the user to the right link, so the user cannot check the matching code. i just typed the link you posted and it magically sent me to a page with the verification code, so i just checked it and it worked! thanx a lot my man.

Using latest MacOS Opera One(version: 106.0.4998.52) (x86_64) and latest iOS version - flow's not connecting by any method (but most here is about Android as I can see)

If you have any fresh updates for iOS, please let me know

Thank you

@kanczo the fact that it's currently February of 2024 and this problem still exists is wild to me, being that this thread was started in 2022 .-.
I'm so glad that that solution worked for me, cause I tried so many different things to try and get it to connect before stumbling across this topic.

I know this post is old but I was having the same problem. I was not able to connect android opera to my PC running opera GX. I WAS however able to get it to work when both devices were running GX. Super annoying because GX for android wont let you sign in but I digress as this is a solution and allows me to have flow on both devices. Hope this helps...
