      Hey y'all. I've seen this problem mentioned elsewhere before but with no resolutions, so I'm going to outline exactly what's happening and the steps I've taken to try to solve it before coming here in the hopes that someone can see the missing piece.

      I use an iMac, MacBook Air, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

      I used to use Opera religiously on all of my devices. I successfully used Flow between my devices. This was a couple of years ago.

      Then it got really heavy for awhile and I switched back to Chrome. I ended up uninstalling Opera from my phone at that time and just using Chrome's app (so it would sync). Now I'd like to move back to Opera full time again but I cannot get my iPhone to sync or Flow to connect.

      I Have Tried:

      • Using the QR code on my desktop to connect my iPhone. It says "Connection error, please check your network and try again"
      • Using the manual codes gives the same response.
      • My husband was able to un-sync and successfully re-sync his Opera (PC to iPhone).
      • That made me think maybe a caching issue, so I completely uninstalled Opera on every device and cleared the cache and cookies. Tried QR + manual codes again, and nada.
      • Then tried going to auth.opera.com on my iPhone and logging into Sync there FIRST; successfully logged in but in the Devices, only my iMac and MacBook show, even though I'm logged in on my phone and can SEE the account from my phone.
      • Then thought maybe this was an account issue?? So I tried making an entirely new Opera account + a clean install. Same results for QR + manual codes when trying to Sync / Flow on iPhone.

      Does anyone have any ideas? I'm so frustrated.
