- “Google Fi VPN” is being rebranded to “VPN by Google.”
- On Pixel 7 or newer, Google Fi VPN is being replaced by the built-in VPN.
- VPN controls will be moving from the Fi app to Settings on May 22.
Google Fi offers a variety of perks for being a member, including access to the company’s VPN. If you commonly use this VPN, get ready for a few changes to come your way.
As you may be aware, the VPN offered by the Google-owned MVNO is called “Google Fi VPN.” At the same time, the Pixel 7 and up feature a built-in VPN experience known as “VPN by Google.” According to 9to5Google, Google Fi is renaming its VPN to “VPN by Google” to make branding more consistent. While the name is changing, it appears the service itself is staying the same, with no technical or functional changes for most Android or iOS users.
