Title: Google One VPN to Shut Down Later This Year Post by: HCK on April 15, 2024, 04:05:04 pm Google One VPN to Shut Down Later This Year
Google One VPN will be discontinued later this year, according to a customer email seen by Android Authority (https://www.androidauthority.com/vpn-by-google-one-shut-down-3433530/). The service was rolled out for Android in October 2020, before coming to iOS devices and Macs in 2022. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2022/02/google-one-vpn-fixed.jpg) When it originally launched it was part of Google One's Premium 2TB storage plan, priced at $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Last year, availability was expanded to all Google One (https://one.google.com) plans, including the cheapest offering for $1.99 per month, making it significantly more affordable. The company told 9to5Google (https://9to5google.com/2024/04/11/google-one-vpn-discontinued/) that it is killing the service because "people simply weren't using it." Existing users will be directed to third-party VPN alternatives instead. Google will continue to offer VPN functionality through its Google Fi cellular service (https://fi.google.com). Google says Pixel users will also still be able to access its VPN features via Pixel settings if they have a Pixel 7 or newer model.<div class="linkback">Tags: Google (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/google/), VPN (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/vpn/)</div> This article, "Google One VPN to Shut Down Later This Year (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/12/google-one-vpn-shut-down-later-this-year/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/google-one-vpn-to-shut-down-later-this-year.2424040/) in our forums Source: Google One VPN to Shut Down Later This Year (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/12/google-one-vpn-shut-down-later-this-year/) |
