Up to 80% Data Savings: Opera One Browser for iOS Introduces Data Saver Feature
IT Home, November 13 — Opera yesterday (November 12) issued an announcement upgrading the iOS version of the Opera One app, with the highlight being the introduction of a "Data Saver" feature that can reduce data consumption by up to 80% when enabled.
In terms of technical implementation, Opera's servers first compress the images and text in web pages before transmitting them to the user's device, reducing the amount of data required to load pages. Citing Opera's official blog post, IT Home notes that the feature is suited to scenarios such as outbound roaming, prepaid plans, and insufficient monthly data allowances, and can also help users browse the web over weaker network connections.

The update comes alongside user growth. According to Opera, in October 2026, global monthly active users of its iOS browser grew 20% year over year. Among them, the United States grew 46%, Europe grew 16%, and Asia and Africa grew 17% and 14% respectively; the United Kingdom and France saw increases of 32% and 19% respectively.
