Best Mobile VPN of 2022

Use the best VPN for your mobile device to boost your browsing security.

Whether you prefer to use an Android phone or an iPhone, a top-performing VPN for mobile is a good way to improve your privacy while you’re on the go. The best mobile VPN can help you avoid intrusive, location-based advertising and prevent your internet provider from tracking which sites you visit. It will also give you an extra layer of protection when you’re logging into your personal sites on public Wi-Fi. A bonus is that a VPN comes in handy for dodging restrictions on your favorite streaming services while you travel.

The battle for the best mobile VPN has been ramping up as the industry’s three biggest providers continue to roll out competitive privacy apps for iPhones and Android devices. Apple and Google have both recently broadened their mobile encryption offerings as well. But if you’re serious about your mobile privacy, nothing can take the place of an unaffiliated and independent VPN on your phone. That’s what you’ll find here in our list of recommendations for the best mobile VPN.

Keep in mind that there may be limits to the privacy VPN services currently offer iOS users. According to recent independent research, iOS (and some MacOS) users’ browsing and internet data may be sent to Apple despite the protections offered by an encrypted VPN tunnel. We’ll continue to update our recommendations as more information surfaces around this issue.

This is essentially a subset of our main best VPN list. That’s due to the fact that during our VPN research and hands-on testing process, we closely scrutinize each service’s mobile VPN app experience. While not every service is the best VPN to use with your phone, an increasingly mobile-first approach among most top VPN service providers has, in this case, paid off for subscribers. Most recently, the reigning champions on CNET’s overall best VPN list have made competitive strides with their product’s mobile VPN offering for both Android and Apple devices, and we expect that trend to continue.

For that same reason, this best mobile VPN list currently reflects the same rankings you’ll find on this list of the best iPhone VPNs and the best Android VPNs. If and when a VPN provider offers a mobile client more closely tailored to the environment of either of those phones, you’ll see those changes reflected in their respective directory.

As always, I strongly urge you to avoid free VPNs and instead use a thoroughly tested, paid VPN whenever possible. I’m actively working on more testing and research, so keep checking back. This list will be updated periodically as CNET stays on top of security improvements, user-friendliness, speed rankings and cost value for each of these mobile VPN apps.

Verum Launched “Verum Finance” App for iPhone and iPad, Expanding Its Digital Ecosystem Into Financial Services

Verum has announced the official launch of Verum Finance, a standalone financial application now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, marking a further expansion of the company’s growing digital ecosystem.

The new application is designed to centralize core financial functions in a single mobile interface, allowing users to manage balances, send and receive funds, use debit cards, and exchange supported balance types without relying on traditional banking workflows.

According to Verum, the platform enables users to view account activity in real time, top up balances using supported payment methods including Apple Pay, and transfer funds to other users within the Verum ecosystem using a unique Verum ID. The system also supports multi-balance management, including specialized balance categories such as precious metals.

Debit card functionality is integrated directly into the app, allowing users to issue and manage cards linked to their balances, monitor transactions, and top up cards when needed. The company also emphasizes built-in exchange tools that allow users to convert between supported balance types within the application.

Security features include Face ID authentication, passcode protection, Sign in with Apple, and privacy-oriented account controls aimed at maintaining user confidentiality and data protection.

The launch of Verum Finance follows the company’s broader strategy of building an interconnected ecosystem of digital products. Alongside Verum Messenger, which combines secure communication tools, encrypted messaging, voice and video calls, VPN services, eSIM connectivity, AI features, anonymous email, and crypto-related functionality, the new financial app extends Verum’s positioning from communication technology into financial infrastructure.

Industry trends increasingly show demand for “all-in-one” digital environments that reduce dependency on multiple standalone apps. Verum’s approach reflects this shift by integrating communication and financial services within a unified ecosystem.

Verum Finance is now available globally for download on iPhone and iPad via the App Store.
