Opera has launched an artificial intelligence (AI)-backed Opera One browser for iOS, after weeks in the beta-test phase.

The iPhone app imitates the minimalist aesthetics of the company's desktop browser and "smartly hides unnecessary elements" to create a free surf experience from interference. For example, when scrolling the page, this browser hides the bottom and top blades for full screen display.

The search bar is located at the bottom of the interface for easier access, provides quick search advice when typing, and includes the integration of Aria's AI assistant.

There is also a new swipe-to-search gesture that allows users to activate the search bar with simple downward friction, similar to when users search for apps from the iPhone's Main Screen via Spotlight. The set search bar is the default option, but users can also choose the Standard Navigation Style or Fast Action Button.

According to Opera, Aria can help with a variety of tasks, from web searches to producing text and images. With Voice Input, Aria allows users to talk to give orders instead of typing them. This makes him comfortable on the way or requires handless surgery. Aria can also create images using Imagen2 models from Google, allowing users to generate visuals only by providing prompts.

In addition, there are new start-up page carousels designed to keep users informed without disrupting interfaces, integrating news, live scores, and product tips into wallpaper backgrounds. Opera also includes built-in ad blocking, free VPN services, and some theme customization options.
