Why is there no VPN toggle?

VPN

I personally think they should add one

Could you set a focus mode to have vpn turned on and then a different one to have it off. It’s the same number of presses to activate it and in the control center as well.

I’m not familiar with VPN, once turned on what would the purpose of turning it off?

Because apple a workaround I found is

Create new focus mode named VPN->create an automation when VPN focus is on->add a toggle VPN shortcut and a turn off vpn focus right after

Now when you turn vpn focus on it turns on ur vpn or turns it off and it closes the focus right after so you can use another focus mode

Because is not part of the system. Most people don’t use it & don’t know what it is or what it is use for.
I disagree with it is going to be more useful than airdrop. Most of the people i know use airdrop in daily basic & 99% of them don’t know what VPN is.

6

Because apples design decisions are often guided by what’s the best for the vast majority of people. And the vast majority of people don’t use voice a on their phones.

You can make a shortcut to do this and add it to your Home Screen

8

you could probably use a shortcut to do this instead, but vpns are a feature that most people never use, so a button here would be a bit of a waste imo. having a toggle in main control center would definitely be nice though, i usually just open vpn app though.

Because it makes sense… though I made a shortcut

10

Agree this would be a good and logical feature. Much more universally useful than the AirDrop toggle

11

Because there isn’t one. Not sure what else to say. I mean it’s like asking why isn’t there RGB lights on your iPhone.

12

Apple didn’t put it, I don’t know.

13

I guess you have to make a shortcut for everything

14

It’s VPN a native service?

15

Why can’t we add a Shortcut to the command center?

16

because most people don’t use it, so why would it be on the quick access tab? that’s what shortcuts are for.

17

because most people don’t use VPNs, or know what they are (tbh i still don’t really know lol).

the 6 options are way more useful to most people than a VPN toggle

18

Great question considering that even Apple TV has a VPN toggle.

19

Probably is available with a 3rd party solution only?

I just made a shortcut to toggle vpn. You can even do it to auto run when opening an app but i prefer to keep it standalone
