- Trade off 100 notification pings for 1 alert about the 100s of articles waiting for you, based on what you actually enjoy reading everyday.
- 3D-Touch to press a tile to get an instant view of the latest updates of that site.

Opera Coast is available for iPhone and iPad from the Apple iTunes Store. Opera has also launched a new version of the Opera Mini browser for iOS that gets 3D Touch and Peek and Pop support.
Regarding the new feature, Huib Kleinhout, Product Manager for Opera Coast, said:
Our goal is to make news so attractive, fast and relevant that Opera Coast users won’t need to use other apps like Apple News, Flipboard, Facebook Notify or Nuzzel to get their daily updates. People already save their favorite sites. We wanted to make a news feed from those favorites more visually appealing and easier to get to with just one tap. We drew inspiration from apps like Snapchat and Instagram to create a completely new way of discovering the latest news and updates from the web.
