The Pixel Tablet finally gets Google VPN support in Android 15 QPR2

[phillynews215]

• With the upcoming Android 15 QPR2 release, the VPN by Google service will likely be available for the Pixel Tablet.
• VPN by Google is the replacement to Google One’s VPN service and is available exclusively for free on the Pixel 7 and later.
• The service originally didn’t support the Pixel Tablet, but Google has finally added support in the latest Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1 release.

If you want to access geo-blocked content, then there are plenty of VPNs you can use to do so. It’s generally recommended to avoid free VPN providers if you value your privacy and want the best speeds, but if you own a Google Pixel device, then you should give Google’s VPN service a shot. VPN by Google is available exclusively for the Pixel 7 and later at no extra cost, but it hasn’t been available for the Pixel Tablet. That’s finally changing with the next Android release.

When Google killed off the VPN service offered with Google One subscriptions, it migrated Pixel users over to its new VPN by Google offering. They’re technically the same thing, except VPN by Google is available exclusively for select Pixel devices and is built into the Pixel’s operating system rather than being offered through the Google One app. By being built into the OS, the VPN can run without there needing to be a persistent “1” notification.
