Vivaldi 7.1 for iOS: What’s New and Exciting

If you’re an iPhone or iPad user, there’s good news—Vivaldi 7.1 is now available for download from the App Store! Packed with new features and improvements, this latest version is powered by Chromium 132.0.6834.110. Let’s dive into what’s new:

Vivaldi Translate Comes to iOS

First up, Vivaldi Translate, which debuted in June 2021 with Vivaldi 4.0, is finally making its way to iOS! Built on Lingvanex technology, this tool supports text, document, and speech translation in over 100 languages. Once you update to 7.1, you’ll find the translate icon conveniently located next to the reload button for quick access.

Enhanced Speed Dial and Quick Save Options

The Speed Dial feature has been revamped to include sections for popular sites and frequently visited ones. Saving your favorite pages is now easier than ever—just use the new “Add page to…” option in the context menu to save directly to your home screen, Start Page, Bookmarks, or Reading List.

Search Engine Updates

Previously, Bing was the default search engine for Vivaldi on iOS, but this has changed. According to Vivaldi:

“To keep Vivaldi free and independent, we’ve made a small but important update: changing some of our default search engines. These adjustments are part of our efforts to support the ongoing development of the browser. Our partner search engines that generate revenue for us are Startpage, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, and Qwant. As part of this setup, we also made changes to ensure that ad attribution works correctly. This is needed for us to be paid by our partners.”

Send Tab to Device and Other Features

Vivaldi 7.1 introduces “Send Tab to Device,” allowing you to instantly share tabs between synced devices. This feature was already available on Desktop and is now on iOS as well.

Additional updates include:

• Paste and Go/Search: Navigate or search directly from your clipboard in fewer steps.
• Custom Zoom Levels: Set your preferred zoom levels for better readability on any page.
• Improved Link Sharing: Share links directly from the Address Bar’s context menu without interrupting your workflow.
• Better Sync Settings: Rename devices for better organization.
• Search Suggestion Settings: Gain more control over how search suggestions appear in the Address Bar.
