New Sleek User Interface (UI)
Embrace the elegance of simplicity with the newly unveiled user interface of the Private Internet Access (PIA) Android app. Sporting a contemporary look, the app now includes a native dark mode, enhancing visual comfort and adding a touch of sophistication to your privacy tools.
Accessibility is at the forefront of this redesign, with the app adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This commitment ensures a barrier-free digital environment, offering improved color contrast and intuitive navigation for users with diverse accessibility needs.
More Customization Options
Customization is the new watchword with PIA’s latest Android app. Tailor your app’s home screen to your liking by choosing which widgets to display for quick access to essential features. A new server sorting function also debuts, enabling you to identify the swiftest servers with ease.
Automation takes a step forward, allowing you to define network rules that dictate the VPN’s response to different network events. This means automatic connections to unfamiliar Wi-Fi networks, while considering your mobile connection secure.
Now with Shadowsocks
Introducing Shadowsocks, a feature that enhances your connection on restricted Wi-Fi networks. Setting up your own server or connecting to one provided by PIA is straightforward, ensuring that obfuscation is just a few taps away.
A Modernized Codebase
The app’s transformation extends beneath the surface with a complete rewrite in Kotlin, a language celebrated for its succinctness. This modernization aligns with clean architecture principles, paving the way for faster development and feature integration. PIA maintains its commitment to transparency by making the new code open-source, inviting users to peruse it on their GitHub page.
Enhanced Android Privacy on Your Terms
PIA continues to refine the VPN experience, offering you the reins to your online privacy. With the new app, you’re not just upgrading a tool; you’re enhancing your digital autonomy. Keep an eye out for more innovative updates that are on the horizon.
