Android Beta - AdGuard VPN versions

Version 2.8 Beta 1
from April 11, 2024
Inspired by the cherry blossom season in Japan, we decided it was the perfect time to spruce up AdGuard VPN for Android. The first thing we're excited to share is a complete overhaul of the Android TV app interface! We hope you'll love the new side navigation menu, the color-coded ping indicators, and the overall look and feel of the app.
Also, thanks to valuable feedback from our users, we've made a number of other notable improvements:
Streamlined the login/signup process by adding social network and QR code options
Added the new section for DNS server customization, allowing users to choose from a provided list or add their own server
Among other things, we've tackled a backlog of bugs that had been waiting for their turn, ensuring the app's smooth operation on any Android device.
We hope that all the enhancements will gladden your heart as much as the sight of a cherry tree in full bloom!

Themed app icon

In Android 12, Themed icons have been introduced. This feature allows you to adapt the colors of icons and widgets to the wallpaper on the smartphone or choose custom colors for them. This means that the device interface can be designed in the unified color scheme. We've introduced a dynamic icon for AdGuard VPN on Android that will adjust to the color selected in Themed icons.

Cross-language location search

Searching for VPN locations has become even more convenient and intuitive. Now you can find the location you need by its country code: for example, to see American locations, simply enter US in the search bar.

Changelog

Versions

VPN client updated to v0.11.251 #302
Version 2.3 Beta 1
from April 24, 2023
In the new version of AdGuard VPN for Android we have significantly improved the app's stability, performance, and integration with AdGuard for Android.

Improved integration with AdGuard Ad Blocker

In a way, we've reinvented the way the apps communicate.
Previously, one app would reach out to the other to change the joint operating status. In such schemes, you always need a ‘mediator’ to make the apps communicate better with each other. And we had one, but because of the complexity of the environment in which the apps work, the intermediary would not always give the correct tasks to each app.
Now the mediator has become as complex as the environment it is in with the apps. We have implemented an algorithm to synchronize all the actions so that apps run as smoothly as possible.

Changelog

Fixes

AdGuard VPN shows only 5 devices instead of 10 #261

Features

Prohibit the switch thumb dragging when the switch is pressed for a long time #263
Version 2.2.4 Beta 1
from March 14, 2023
This is a small update, so instead of telling you about it, we decided to show you how else you can use AdGuard VPN.
For example, did you know that you can connect to a DNS server within the app? If you select AdGuard DNS, you'll have a VPN app that can also block ads! However, in the Integration mode, it's better to go straight to the AdGuard app — in this mode, the DNS server is configured there.

Changelog

VPN client updated to v0.11.29 #215

This time we've implemented a useful feature for those who can't or don't want to use Google Play Store. Now, if Google Play isn't installed on your device, AdGuard VPN will still update automatically by connecting to our own servers, no need to download anything manually from the website or anything! And we've fixed a few bugs (of course 😏) that were preventing the app from working properly.

A couple of bugs have been rectified, a global one with the exclusions, and the other one related specifically to Samsung devices with Android 12. A noteworthy UI change: you can now view the detailed status of your license in the “License” tab. We have also updated the VPN client to improve performance. We hope you will appreciate the changes that the second beta of AdGuard VPN v2.1 for Android brings!

Changelog

[Enhancement] VPN client updated to 0.9.89 #171

Version 2.1 beta 1
from May 12, 2022
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together: on the way to the big release of AdGuard VPN v2.0 for Android, we put off solving many issues, trying to keep our attention on the priority tasks. That's why this beta version is almost entirely dedicated to elaborating a large number of requests that have been piling up for almost two years.
We fixed a lot of bugs and minor flaws and improved the app performance significantly. And also we redesigned the authorization screens of the app, simplifying the logic of actions. We hope you will enjoy the new version of AdGuard VPN for Android!

[Fixed] Site added to exclusions via the Share button is not displayed in the app #169
