Google One VPN will be discontinued later this year, according to a customer email obtained by Android Authority. The service was rolled out to Android in October 2020 and will be coming to iOS and Mac devices in 2022.
At launch, it was part of Google's One Premium 2TB 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 at $1.99 per month, making it significantly more affordable.
The company told 9to5Google it was killing the service because “people I just don't use it.” Instead, existing users will be redirected to third-party VPN alternatives.
Google will continue to offer VPN functionality through its Google Fi cellular service. Google says Pixel users will also still be able to access VPN features through Pixel settings if they have a Pixel 7 or later model.
