Opera, one of the popular internet browsers, has made an important development that concerns iOS users today. The team updated Opera’s mobile application via the App Store and started to offer VPN service to iPhone owners. In a few weeks, all iPhone owners will be able to experience the new feature in Opera. Moreover, users will not have to pay anything to benefit from this service.
The VPN service is critical, especially for accessing banned websites. Many technology giants, especially Google and Microsoft, already have their own VPN services. However, certain payments must be made to take advantage of them. Opera, on the other hand, does not charge any fees for this service.
Opera broke new ground with this move!
Opera has also offered free VPN services for the Windows, Linux, macOS and Android ecosystems in the past. Now they have been added to iOS. Thus, the company made history as the first internet browser to provide free VPN service to all popular platforms on the market. We will see whether this will affect Opera user rates in the coming period.
Users who have downloaded Opera on their iPhone or will download Opera after this move will not have to do anything special to benefit from the VPN service. Users will only need to find and activate the VPN setting after opening the application. Thus, there will be no need for user data to be processed into Opera. However, let us warn about one thing: Opera was transferred to a Chinese consortium in 2016. Do not ignore this information if you prefer to stay away from Chinese software.
