Google Fi's built-in VPN service starts rolling out for iPhone users By: ANI The arrival of Google Fi's VPN on iOS comes as Apple gears up to launch a similar privacy-protecting feature as part of its iCloud Plus subscription service. Washington: Google recently announced that it is rolling out Google Fi's built-in VPN service for iPhone subscribers, giving iOS users another way to ensure that their connection is secure and private on a cellular or Wi-Fi network. According to The Verge, this new feature, which routes the phone's internet traffic through an encrypted connection to protect privacy, has been available on Android since its beta launch in November 2018. The launch comes a little later than Google's previously announced "spring" release date. Google said that not all iPhone users will have access to the feature straight away, but that it will be widely available "over the coming weeks."
