Sending tabs from phone to computer

supermurs

Hi,

I tried the sending tabs feature and I can send tabs from computer to computer and from computer to phone.

But is it possible to send tabs from phone to computer?

I tried to open vivaldi://experiments on my phone but the page is not available. I can't also find the icon for sending tabs from Vivaldi's share menu on my phone. I can add the page to reading list or bookmarks, but not send it directly to a computer.

My phone is iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 18.0.1, sync is activated and working.

I've tried with the stable version from App Store and the snapshot version from Testflight.

I'm also in the Apple ecosystem

Sometimes it’s easier to send a link to Telegram (Saved Messages), than resolve Handoff synchronization bugs

I'm not sure why, but they've removed the share button from iOS. It used to be inside the Vivaldi menu, alongside History, Reading List, Site Information, and other buttons. It's gone now. (It's still documented as being there, but empirically this is not so.)

If you have iCloud on both devices and Handoff enabled, you can copy the URL from one device and paste it to another. That's the best workaround I've found so far. (See https://support.apple.com/en-us/102430 for more information.)

The share button has not been removed, but the menu did get a design update not so long ago.
See the image in this tip post https://tips.vivaldi.net/tip-605/.

@jane-n Can you point me to it? I'm not seeing it.

Interesting!
When you customize the menu (long press on one of the menu buttons on the top row), do you see Share there?
If not, please file a bug report on https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/.

@jane-n Nope, not available in the Customize menu either.

I'll file a bug. Thanks for helping.

@muscov What other items you see here when you scroll left here (while on customization mode)? Share is supposed to be the part of top row.

@prio Here's the rest of the Customize menu

@muscov Thanks for sharing it. It is a regression and should not be like this. Track Price and Whats New should not be there and instead it should show Share. We will look into it.

Could you please confirm the version number you have installed? Thanks

muscov

@prio Hey, yes, thanks. Version 7.0.3505.85 on iOS 17.7.1.
