The Proton VPN apps for iOS and Windows are getting a new look, and users will soon have access to new features, such as the ability to create personalized connection profiles and add the app to the mobile home screen.
Among other things, the Windows app of Proton VPN has been given a new look that is in line with the revamped Android app from last year. The new look should make the various functions of the app more prominent, Proton said in a blog. For example, it should be easier to find functions such as the Kill Switch and Split Tunneling. In addition, the Windows app now has a light mode.
The iOS app has a new home screen. Users can now pin their favorite and recent locations to the top of the location list, making them easier to find. More information is also available on how a VPN service works and how to use the different features.
Android and iOS users can now also add a widget to the home screen. This widget can be used to connect directly to the default or recent servers. The widget can be adjusted to different sizes.
Finally, Windows and Android users with a paid account will have the option to create their profiles. Each profile will contain a location and server of choice, as well as the desired protocol and any other settings. For example, a profile could be created that is tailored to streaming videos, while another profile is focused on safety features while working. Users can connect to such a profile with a single click and easily switch between profiles, Proton says. Android users can also connect to such a profile via a widget on the home screen.
