Google One mainly comes with an iCloud-like cloud subscription options that give users more storage space online. In addition, the company also offers VPN service to its highest or premium users. He also said that after more than 1 year, iOS and iPadOS support has now come. Here are the details…
Special privileges are coming to Google One subscribers
Google One, a cloud storage service, brings a new payment method to its subscribers. Features on Google Pixel will be offered to subscribers at a certain price.
Google One VPN is now available on iPhones and iPads!
Today, Google said the following in a blog post:
Today, we’re starting to roll out VPN to iOS devices. Similar to Android, the VPN will be available to Google One members on Premium plans (2TB and above) via the Google One app on iOS.
In addition, members can share their plan and VPN with up to five family members at no additional cost. Thus, they will all be able to use the VPN, whether they are using Android or iOS phones.
VPN on iOS or iPadOS also requires a premium Google One plan, similar to Android. When we look at the payment plans, we see a monthly fee of $ 9.99 or $ 99.99 per year. In addition, Pro Sessions are also available for premium members, support and training services alongside VPN.
Of course, the VPN service offered by Google One is not very similar to the 3rd party applications we are used to. For example, while providing privacy for users, it does not allow users to circumvent geographic restrictions such as watching another country’s Netflix selection.
In this sense, we can say that it has a structure quite similar to Apple’s iCloud Private Relay in intent. Although it is a different system, this one also aims to protect users. However, transactions that are not supported by companies are prevented.
Google actually offered a VPN service to Apple users before. It was providing this over Google Fi. However, since they are quite different from the Google One platform that is currently in use, the audience they appeal to is not the same.
