Google’s announcement of the Pixel 7 Smartphone, One of the features said to be coming to handsets would be: free Google One VPN Service. For those unfamiliar, Google One is Google’s paid cloud storage service and Pixel 7 users would be getting a perk by being able to use the VPN for free.
Google initially said that this feature would arrive in the new year but did not specify when. However, a support page has revealed that it will launch the VPN from Google One on the Pixel 7 at the end the year. Google has confirmed that Pixel 7 owners won’t need a Google One subscription to use the feature.
“As of December 2022, Pixel 7* and Pixel 7 Pro* consumers can access VPN by Google One at no extra cost on those devices through the Google One app without a Google One subscription. All other Google One membership benefits are sold separately.”
Non-Pixel 7 users who wish to use the VPN service offered by Google One will require a 2TB subscription. Also, as noted by Google, the service will not be available globally (for now), which means that even if you have the 2TB subscription but live in a country that isn’t supported, you’d be out of luck.
