The Google One VPN hasn’t been very helpful if you mostly browse the safer web through your iPhone, but that won’t be an issue from now on. Google is starting to launch One VPN service for iOS users. As long as you’ve subscribed to the 2TB Premium plan in qualifying countries, this should help you protect your internet activity. However, it won’t give you an IP address in another country, so don’t expect to browse foreign streaming service libraries.
There are also new features for Android users. App Bypass allows certain apps to use a regular connection if the VPN is problematic, while Safe Disconnect will only allow you to go online while the VPN is active. Snooze temporarily disables the VPN.
Google One Premium costs $10 a month and is currently available in 18 countries including the US, Canada and the UK. The launch of the iPhone probably won’t appeal to you if you’re already using a VPN or a privacy-focused service like iCloud Private Relay. However, this might be exactly what you were looking for if you’re deep into Google’s cloud ecosystem and want a secure service that you can use across platforms.
