iPhone users now have a new reason to try the Opera One browser. The company has added its Data Saver feature to the iOS app. It can reduce data usage by up to 80% while browsing websites. The update has come at a point when the browser is witnessing a significant rise in its user count worldwide.
Reportedly, Opera One has seen a 20% year-over-year growth in monthly active users in October 2026 on its iOS version. The US saw the biggest growth at 46%, while Europe recorded 16%, Asia 17%, and Africa 14%.
The new feature reduces the size of images and text before they reach the user’s phone. This means webpages can use less data and load with fewer delays. It will be useful for people with limited data plans or those who often browse using mobile networks.
Data Saver is available on the latest iOS versions, but it’s not turned on by default. So, users who are curious can turn it on from the Settings. They can also check how much data they have saved.
The amount of data one can save depends on the website they are visiting. Pages with lots of images may use more compression, while text-heavy websites may show smaller savings. Opera claims that users can save up to 80%, but it has not shared exact figures for each type of website.
Well, there’s another catch. Images may look less clear when Data Saver is on. Users also cannot change the image quality themselves. Videos, music, and file downloads are not included in the compression feature.
However, Data Saver can be a useful feature for those who want their data plans to last longer. Anyway, results can vary from website to website based on how one browses. With a growing user base and new features, Opera One is giving iPhone users another option beyond Safari.
