Users across the globe, from the United States and parts of Europe, including Turkey and Russia, have already been enjoying saving mobile data with Opera Max. We are continuing to roll out Opera Max to more countries, because we believe internet access is a fundamental right for all, and Opera Max makes this access more affordable for users,\u201d says Sergey Lossev, Head of Opera Max at Opera Software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How Opera Max works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">Opera Max is a free and easy-to-use app that compresses data usage across apps, including video, text and images on Android mobile devices, meaning users can get more usage out of their data plans. It is the only app that gives consumers significant data savings on mobile video, which makes up a large chunk of data usage by consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"color: windowtext;\"> Opera Max&#8217;s advanced video optimization is powered by Rocket Optimizer, a cloud-based solution from Opera&#8217;s Skyfire unit. Once installed,\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #1155cc;\" href=\"http:\/\/opr.as\/c0p\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">Opera Max<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">\u00a0starts rerouting data traffic on the mobile device to the Opera data-savings cloud, using a virtual private network (VPN). All non-encrypted data requests (excluding secure websites and apps with HTTPS connections) are sent through Opera\u2019s servers, which compress video, images and websites to consume less data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><b><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">Take control of data consumption<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: windowtext;\"><br \/>\nThrough Opera Max&#8217;s timeline of app usage and savings, users can get a unique look at where their data quota is going to gain more control over the data they consume. They can also keep track of their savings and even block particular apps from using mobile data, restricting them to Wi-Fi only.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><b><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">Android Lollipop Update<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">The Opera Max user interface and core networking component works seamlessly with Lollipop. With this, there have been a few improvements to user experience. Issues with IPv6 traffic in previous versions of the app are now resolved. Additionally, the VPN will have a lifetime approval permission, this means that once users confirm VPN approval for Opera Max, they will no longer have to reapprove the app each time their device reboots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">With this update, users also have the option to now hide all notifications from Opera Max. By going to the app settings and disabling the optional \u201csavings status\u201d notification. By default, Opera Max savings status notifications is only visible as a lock screen notification. It can be disabled by pressing and holding on the notification, then pressing the \u2018i\u2019 for information, and selecting the block notification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><b><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">More information<br \/>\n<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">Opera Max is available as a free download on\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #1155cc;\" href=\"http:\/\/opr.as\/b0q\" target=\"_blank\">Google Play<\/a><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">\u00a0for smartphones running Android 4.0 or above, while Opera for desktops is available\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #1155cc;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.opera.com\/o\/ie-simple\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">The\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #1155cc;\" href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/sro-vMGMWgw\" target=\"_blank\">Opera Max product video<\/a><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">\u00a0is available as well, as is a look behind\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #1155cc;\" href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/X2QDzuZZ6HM?list=UUVJ4zeC6bc5Yx1nPiUZ2csA\" target=\"_blank\">why Opera Max was created<\/a><span style=\"color: windowtext;\">.
