Hi @david27
Only in GX for computers, not in the mobile versions of GX, unfortunately.
Hi
Please repost this in the Opera One section, this is for the iOS browser.
Thanks for feedback 
Yes we will try to optimize the view for synced tabs. It might not be first prio though, since things work, but we will get to it eventually.
You can switch layout to list from the bottom elft most icon. but note its common layout for all tab sections, private, normal and synced.
Workspaces is reported and we will look into that issue, it might be a problem on the desktop side, them not syncing all workspaces (but if that is the case we will report that to the desktop team)
Synced tabs does not sync the thumbnail thats why we use a placeholder, but its not an optimal solution from the prespective if a user need to distinguish between synced and normal. It should not be that hard though, its a different section.
History sync is on our todo.
the default behavior on Opera for iOS is to open a new tab directly after the tab you are currently on. We don't autoarrange the tabs.
So if you open a new tab, and then want to return to the previously visited, it will remain just side by side with the newly opened tab when you open the tab view. Easy to find and navigate.
However, if you want to rearrange your tabs manually you can do so by hold, drag and drop on a tab in the tab bar or in the tab manager view
Also if you jump between tabs a lot and close the one you are currently on you will return to the previously visited tab, even if there are several tabs in between.
What does minimize mean?
To open another tab and put the current page and tab in background?
Change the layout options? setting mobile or desktop mode layout? i.e. smaller elements in desktop mode?
a button to put app in background?
Please elaborate
thank you
I guess you mean that it should clear data from last browsing session at startup?
if certain time has passed?
Because unless you manually swipe to close and app from the system app switcher, it will just be put in the background, but remain in memory.
It would be very disuptive if cleared data immediately when "closed" i.e. put in bg, right?
What do you expect? how long before clearing?
This is how the browser works by default unless you have enabled "Instant Search" in the Opera settings.
By default:
Opera for iOS resumes on the last open tab and restores the page if not loaded.
Instant Search enabled:
Opera for iOS resumes on last tab unless 2 hours has passed since last open. If so it will open a new tab and activate search automatically, to make it easy and quick to start searching or entering a url.
Sync is now fully available in latest releases from 6.6.0 and forward.

The reason why Sync took some time was due to the fact that Opera on other platforms rely on Chromium sync. The Opera Browser for iOS app is not built on the Chromium code base. So the entire sync feature had to be written from scratch and integrate with the very complex chromium sync logic and mechanisms.
Note: The ability to sign in to Opera and sync one-way (i.e. import data from your Opera account and continuously be up to date with your other browsers) has been available since last year.
Full 2-way Sync was included in the latest releases, starting from 6.6.0

Thank you for your report, we have been able to reproduce and confirm the issue. iOS 17 and 16 seems affected.
Its been reported and sent to the dev team.
Please note, that short term you can upgrade to iOS 18, which I would recommend regardless of this issue. Because you will benefit from security improvements and general improvements in the system, without any performance or battery degradation.
iOS26 is more power hungry and is still a bit immature, and there are major changes to interface and design that you may be sceptical about. But I would say iOS18 is a safe bet.
@SonofPleb
yes, agree thank you.
we have identified the same issue and this will be adressed in a future release (not the next one though), we will update the design of the group view.
You are right, its too easy.
In the upcoming release, we will have two mitigations for your problem:
whenever someone closes more than 1 tab, we will prompt and ask users if they want to close x tabs with an option to cancel. same way as prompted when "Close All Tabs" from menu.
We will introduce a Recently Closed Tabs list so users can reopen closed tabs. It will be available from
a) Tab View > Menu
b) by long pressing + icon in Tab view
c) Long press tab icon in navbars and selecting it from the context menu.
best regards,
Opera Team
Hi @SonofPleb
i am sorry you have some trouble.
This works without a problem for me on latest version 6.1.4 on both iOS 18 and 26
We used to have an issue with find in page but it was solved earlier this year. Not sure I recognize the symptoms you describe though. it was still mostly working, but it didnt always highlight the hits (which you kind of need). I believe this may still be buggy on iOS 15 devices.
What you are describing is something else.
We need some information in order to troubleshoot.
What iOS version do you have?
What version of Opera for iOS?
What pages does this fail on and what steps do you take for the issue to reproduce.
Please share a screenshot of the issue when find in page is active.
Best regards
Opera team
@rhamonster @bamhamer @briinana @tripleshieldedgaming
Another update and another migration fix 
Please try latest update, check appstore product page if it doesnt update automatically.
OFI version 6.1.4
@rhamonster thanks, the shared info gave us a few insights and ideas. We can now replicate the scenario in house.
We have some idea of what could be the issue (memory related) and we are working on another fix.
We understand the problem, but its tricky to implement, so I cant give you a timeframe when we have a solution.
Hopefully, within days.
Thank you fpr you help and patience!
@rhamonster
Hi
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Are you saying that the entire device restarts?
Can you tell how long you have been using opera and how many tabs you might have?
Best regards,
Opera Team
