      Hi!
      I get "connection error..." message when I try to connect a device to my flow.
      I tried Opera for macOS and Opera for Android on an Android emulator to show the QR and connection codes and Opera for iOS to scan or enter the codes.
      Android and macOS Operas were signed in into my Opera account.
      On iPhone I tried first without signing in, then signed in.

      It isn't stated anywhere that Flow connection requires devices to be signed into the same account but for me an obvious feature to have would be to connect the devices on the same account to Flow if the user chooses to.

      Also, it's weird that on iPhone I don't have an option to show the QR code to connect other devices. On Android emulator I have options to scan or show QR code but don't have options to show or enter the access code manually. On Mac I have options to show the codes but don't have options to scan or enter the codes. These are bugs to me ^_^

      And lastly, in the latest Opera for iOS version, I couldn't find the Opera account options in the settings, I looked everywhere from the top-level to all the nested settings menus. Only when I opened Aria and the list of chats there, I was able to see I wasn't signed in.

      Hope these forums aren't the place where the users just complain and contemplate their existence, but some things from here somehow transfer to the Opera team backlog.
