Currently, the plans are only announced for Android. The company is already focusing on building advanced security on all its products. VPN extends that security to encrypt all of your phone’s online traffic. Google One starts with a 100 GB plan at $1.99/month. The 200 GB plan starts at $2.99.
However, VPN requires you to jump to 2TB at $9.99 monthly or $99.99 annually. Along with this, the other benefits include better support, Pro sessions, and Gold Status on Play Point. Supplementary to this you’ll also get 10% back on the Google Store. Plus this is also available on the 10,20, and 30TB plans.
Further, if you share your 2TB Google One plan with family members, they can have the service too. The VPN is first rolling out on Android in the coming weeks in the US. It can be enabled/disabled from the mobile app.
It is coming to more countries and to iOS, Windows, and Mac in the coming months.
