Google One VPN to Shut Down Later This YearGoogle One VPN will be discontinued later this year, according to a customer email seen by
Android Authority. The service was rolled out for Android in October 2020, before coming to iOS devices and Macs in 2022.
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 plans, including the cheapest offering for $1.99 per month, making it significantly more affordable.
The company told
9to5Google 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. 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:
