Built-in VPN available on desktop, but not on my phone

Firefox maka Android VPN

I recently gained access to Firefox's built-in VPN feature on my Windows PC. The VPN button is now visible in my desktop Firefox browser, and I'm able to access and use the feature without any problems.

However, I cannot find the same VPN feature anywhere in Firefox on my Android phone.

Both devices are signed in to the same Firefox account, and Sync is enabled on both. I've also checked the browser settings on my Android device, but the VPN option does not appear to be available.

Is this expected behaviour? Is the built-in VPN currently exclusive to Firefox desktop, or is it supposed to be available on Android as well? If Android is supported, is there anything I need to do to enable it?

I'd appreciate some clarification on platform availability and whether this is a rollout limitation or an issue with my account or device.

Hi cancerus.nyx,

Generally it should be available on Android in countries listed here and with remote improvements enabled.

Yep, I checked again, my country is listed on the list, and I have the remove improvements setting toggled on. Maybe I will receive it later, just need to wait.

In the meantime, is there another setting I need to look out for?

Hi

Subject to the controls mentioned, this feature is being gradually rolled out. If you do not have it yet, you may expect to see it soon.
