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.

I have two Android phones: a Samsung Galaxy A33 and a POCO X8 Pro (HyperOS 3.3.309.0).

Both have Firefox 159.0.1, the same Firefox account, and were installed through Google Play.

The built-in VPN works perfectly on my Samsung, allowing me to select between different countries. However, the VPN option is completely missing on my POCO.

Remote Improvements are enabled on both devices, and their privacy settings are identical.

Why is the VPN available on one device but not the other? Is there a way to enable it on my POCO?
