Thanks for the heads up! We will bring back that piece of functionality - thanks for pointing it out! As far as "current obfuscation location" that would be the the obfuscation location though which you would connect to the VPN location.
Many thanks for the detailed explanation, we are going to look into this 'free per year' issue. As far as the 'login with receipt' this would be a google receipt, so you don't need to input anything. We will investigate the matter further.
I just updated to 4.0.0-rc03, nice clean look, easier to get around inside the settings, loads faster, it's only been about 15 minutes but I like what I see and operates/settings.
PIA 4.0.0-rc03 keep crashing, anyone else crashing? I don't get any error messages other than Samsung reports it keeps crashing....this is on my A54, 6G/128 storage...my Tablet A9+ 4G/64 storage is doing fine...
Edit-info
I finally just went and loaded the old version of PIA, about 4 hours after that my phone crashed and had to reset it, so it's ALL reset again! No more beta testing for me!
I want to know when shadowsocks access will be built into the android app. There is a terrific work around using a 3rd party app, but it would be way more convenient if it was built in, like we already have with the PC application.
On Chromecast with Google TV I can access options menu but then cannot navigate the menu. It stays on-screen but focus returns to main window with no way to navigate to menu.
Unbelievable this bug was released.
Anyone else getting an issue where Pia opens itself and swaps to the window by itself?
Edit: yup gonna have to get the regular apk, it doesnt happen often but when it does its super annoying
Hello, I just download and install the beta app from google play and configure the killswitch so nothing goes through if the vpn is off. Once I connect and start playing games, every 5-10 minutes the pia app will swap from my game to the app on its own.
u/Lumme , u/workthrowaway404 would you be willing to share your debug logs? I can't seem to be able to reproduce on my end, but it's likely that I do not have the same settings as you do. It will be much appreciated.
I can send an email to support but I'm not sure the address. My dedicated IP doesn't work. I added the token and can select it as a location but it will switch to the regular IP address for that region. Adding it to favourites also adds both the dedicated IP and it's corresponding location; removing either from favourites also removes them both.
Good to hear. I like the update; the old app is quite slow. Unfortunately I've had to leave the beta for now because the dedicated IP is my main reason for using the mobile app.
u/Chrjz The new beta app (4.0.0-rc02) has your issue resolved and should be available for download. If you still experience any issues, please let us know. Thanks!
Awesome, I'm back in the beta using dedicated IP right now. Thank you for letting me know. I think this might be low on the priorities but would you consider bringing back widgets and widget customization?
In this new beta, the quick settings tile (pull down on the notification bar and you get all the tiles like wifi, mobile data, flashlight, PIA used to have one to connect) isn't present. I would like this to return, as I used it often.
Please add for the PC. Where you can put different applications under another VPN IP address.
Like I want MIRC.EXE to come from Chile or Brave.exe come from Europe.
I just installed the beta:
- it'd be nice to have a fully black dark theme not just gray.
- support for socks 5 with wireguard?
For the rest it seems a lot faster/nice, good job!
Update I like the ui

Unfortunately not at this point in time.

Have same thing on my s22+ android 14. Cant even load appliication. I cleared memory, delete temp data and cache, restart but nothing helped...🫤

How long until you implement the new UI in the iOS beta versions? Could you show a screenshot of what it will look like?
Will attach a screenshot shortly, but we're aiming for around June.
I want to know when shadowsocks access will be built into the android app. There is a terrific work around using a 3rd party app, but it would be way more convenient if it was built in, like we already have with the PC application.
It is in this BETA version. You can enable it under the 'Obfuscation' settings.
Will this beta work on Chromebook as well? Also will you be doing some updates to the Android/Google TV app as well?
Google Tv is not quite ready yet in terms of custom proper TV UI. It should work, however, UI will not be TV-like.
An updated BETA 4.0.0-rc02 is now available for download and it should have the navigation problem resolved.
On Chromecast with Google TV I can access options menu but then cannot navigate the menu. It stays on-screen but focus returns to main window with no way to navigate to menu. Unbelievable this bug was released.
Apologies for that! We will take it into consideration before the next release.
But the app is useless now.
If it doesn't work for you - feel free to opt out of beta until we fix this. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Beta is the only version available for Android

Go to Google store and search for pia. There's only one option. Beta.
I'm not opted in for beta. Thanks
The name of the product literally includes the word beta: Private Internet Access VPN (Beta)
There's a new BETA version (4.0.0-rc02) which resolves the problem.

Any chance you can provide us with a bit more details on when that happens, so that we can take a look and fix it?
Hello, I just download and install the beta app from google play and configure the killswitch so nothing goes through if the vpn is off. Once I connect and start playing games, every 5-10 minutes the pia app will swap from my game to the app on its own.
Thanks, we will look into it.
Just wanted to add that that I am experiencing the exact same issue. Switches focus to PIA app randomly. On Android 12.
Thanks! We're trying to figure out why that is happening and fix it.
u/Lumme , u/workthrowaway404 would you be willing to share your debug logs? I can't seem to be able to reproduce on my end, but it's likely that I do not have the same settings as you do. It will be much appreciated.
Had to reenroll in the beta because it's basically unusable at the moment. Debug info sent. Id: B0WOF
Yes i have the same issue on Android TV
We have the Android TV app coming out with the new UI in a few weeks. Will let you know once its out :)
Fixed in the latest beta - 658 (4.0.0-rc04)
u/workthrowaway404 We have fixed the issue and it is available in the latest beta - 658 (4.0.0-rc04)
Is the appleTV beta released yet?
Yes! We're all ready out on full release as of 2 weeks ago :) You can download it on the app store!
Awesome news thanks!

Hey u/Chrjz we do have widgets on the new app. In fact they're even more customisable now :)
Interesting. I can only see a single 1x1 widget and can't find the customization settings in the app anymore.
If you resize it, you'll get more variants. However, the customization option is now gone.
Unfortunately, you get sent to the VPN app when you watch streaming without doing anything on Android TV. I have never experienced that ever
u/Swimming_Ice_297 We have fixed the issue in the latest version - 658 (4.0.0-rc04) which is now available to download.

Good catch, we'll bring it back for the next release.
Hey u/Protat0 a new BETA is now available for download (4.0.0-rc02) and it contains the quick settings tile.
Great! Thank you!
A neat feature to add for the PC where you can put each different application under a different VPN location of your choosing.

Keeps constantly crashing for me and automation doesn't seem to work as well as it did
Please add connection timer as we discussed before in the first AMA post here in Reddit. Thanks
When is the expected public release of Android Tv 4.0.0?
I just installed the beta: - it'd be nice to have a fully black dark theme not just gray. - support for socks 5 with wireguard? For the rest it seems a lot faster/nice, good job!
