You could get free VPN with the latest Google Pixel’s software update

With the debut of Google’s Feature Drop in 2019, the company introduces Pixel-centred updates on a quarterly basis alongside their security updates. The most recent rollout covers the Pixel 4a onwards, with their latest flagships receiving most of the features.

Free VPN (Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro)

In light of the increasing demand for VPNs, users of said devices can now change to a virtual location to reduce online tracking and remain protected on the web. Alas, you would have to look elsewhere if your intent is region bypassing – the app lacks region selection.

Clear Calling (Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro)
