Opera One for iOS updated with AI-based Image Understanding capabilities

October 15th, 2024

Hey all!

Today we’re introducing Image Understanding capabilities to Opera One for iOS. Now, you can upload any image to the Aria browser AI and get information and context about it while on the go.

Let’s say you’re on a trip to Norway. You’re walking along Oslo’s beautiful waterfront, and you see a curious looking, wedge-shaped building. You upload a photo, or take a few directly from the chat with Aria, and ask what the building is, and about its architectural and historical significance. Presto! Aria tells you that you’re looking at the city’s famous Opera House, which you can walk atop for a great view of the Oslo Fjord.

Similarly, you might visit the Munch Museum and explore the artistic style and cultural relevance of Edward Munch,or upload a shot of a Norwegian spruce while out on a hike to learn about new species and broaden your knowledge.

Your AI-centric iOS browser

Released back in August, the AI-centric Opera One for iOS is an elegant, intuitive browser that features simplified commands and a full screen mobile interface.

With gesture-drive UI, all you need to do to access the search function is swipe down. Similarly, the revamped newsfeed is accessible just by swiping up. Plus there’s a new navigation style, Bottom Search, that shifts the search bar to the bottom of the screen to make it easier to use your iPhone with one hand.

Opera One for iOS is also designed to maximize screen space and minimize distractions. The top bar and Bottom Search bar vanish when you start scrolling, for example, and the status bar and navigation bars adjust to the color of the webpage you’re on. That way you can always stay immersed in just what you’re looking at.

And of course, Opera One for iOS comes with Aria, our free, built-in browser AI. Aria can help out with all sorts of inquiries, answer product questions – even generate text or code! And our AI tool is regularly updated to incorporate new capabilities like Image Understanding, with recent additions including Voice Input – so that iOS users can speak queries aloud rather than have to type them out – and Image Generation.

So join the growing number of users who are discovering a reimagined iOS browsing experience – download Opera One for iOS today!
