With the recent launch of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo, it's a good time to look at some of the less-used but highly practical features of iOS. These features, though not always obvious, can help users save time and improve their experience. The developers of the ExpressVPN application have made a point of leveraging these iOS capabilities effectively. As part of a back-to-school promotion, ExpressVPN is offering its services at a reduced price, starting at 3.10 euros per month including tax, with four months free when signing up for a 24-month plan. The ExpressVPN iOS app is regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest iOS versions. Developers actively track iOS updates and quickly integrate them into the app. Some of the most useful iOS-specific features include Live Activity and Dynamic Island, which provide real-time updates on the status of the VPN connection, data usage, and bandwidth on the locked screen without needing to open the app. Voice commands like "Hey Siri, activate ExpressVPN" allow users to connect to their last used server without opening the app, and the same goes for deactivating it. The ExpressVPN 2×2 widget can be placed on the home screen or widgets screen for quick one-click activation or deactivation of the VPN. Additionally, compatibility with Apple’s Shortcuts app allows users to automate their connection, such as launching the VPN at specific times or when using certain apps or public Wi-Fi. ExpressVPN positions itself as a premium provider by offering advanced features not commonly found in other services. It uses a variety of connection protocols, including the widely used OpenVPN, as well as faster alternatives like WireGuard and Lightway Turbo. Lightway Turbo, developed by ExpressVPN, is currently only available on Windows and is designed to maintain high-speed performance even over long distances. The company also follows a strict no-log policy, which is regularly audited by independent firms. ExpressVPN operates servers that use only RAM, meaning no data is stored on hard drives. A simple restart of the server erases all information. These servers are spread across 113 countries, allowing users to bypass geographical content restrictions. The app also includes features like a kill switch, split tunneling, and AES-256 encryption, which are standard for top-tier VPNs. To take advantage of the back-to-school season, ExpressVPN has reduced the price of its subscription plans. The Basic plan, which allows up to 10 devices and includes Lite Protection, is now available for 3.10 euros per month including tax, for a total of 28 months of protection. The Advanced plan, with support for 12 devices and additional tracking protection, costs 4.78 euros per month for the same duration. The Express Pro plan, offering 14 devices and a dedicated IP address, is priced at 7.78 euros per month for 28 months. Each subscription comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, allowing users to cancel within that period by contacting customer service.
