Google Pixel phone browsing activities on Fi networks are now more secure

• Google has unveiled a new Fi feature that adds extra protection for mobile traffic on Pixel phones.
• The new feature is designed to automatically encrypt all browsing activities on Pixel devices while connected to a Fi network.
• This feature is available to the Pixel 7 series down to the Pixel 4 line.

Privacy and security features are already included in the plans, but the service is beefing them up with a new feature that protects mobile traffic from being seen.

Starting today, Fi automatically encrypts all mobile data traffic for many of its best phones, from the Pixel 7 line down to the Pixel 4 series running the latest version of the operating system. This means that you don't have to do anything to keep your connection private.

The new security feature for the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro complement the built-in VPN that comes with the latest and greatest Pixel phones.

The feature applies to all internet connections. You only have to turn on the Fi Virtual Private Network on your phone or device to use it. If you're on a public wi-fi network, the service protects you from attackers.
