Your privacy above everything else
We’re not here just to protect your internet connection on your iPhone and iPad, but all of the info and data you entrust to us. Our VPN technology runs on RAM-only servers, so every time they’re rebooted, the data is wiped. This means we can’t see your data, and neither can anyone else. We’ve received requests and warrants to provide our customers’ data before, but we can’t because it doesn’t exist. Have a look here to see the requests we’ve denied.
Since it’s your data, you deserve transparency with how it’s handled. Our no-logs policy is independently audited by firms like KPMG and PwC.
ExpressVPN iOS app’s privacy and security features
Protect your privacy and stay secure on any network with an iOS VPN
Keep your connection secure at home and away
Being on public Wi-Fi makes it easier for bad actors to access your data. Those public networks are free and open, and easily exploitable. And although it’s less likely, your internet at home can be hacked too.
ExpressVPN for iOS secures your connection with encryption that’s like putting a concrete tunnel between your device and the site you’re visiting, so no one can see your browsing activity or personal data.
It also has a kill switch, which means if the VPN connection drops, it blocks all traffic, safeguarding your data and personal info until it is restored.
Access your accounts and subscriptions from anywhere
ExpressVPN has servers in 113 countries, so no matter if you’re home or traveling, you can access your accounts, subscriptions, and favorite entertainment. This comes in handy when you need to access financial accounts with strict verification, or want to watch your shows but aren’t in your region.
Our servers support live streaming, 4K video, and low-ping gaming with unlimited bandwidth.
Encryption for privacy and secure browsing
You know your ISP and Wi-Fi admins can see what you’re doing online? ExpressVPN’s 256-bit AES encryption prevents third parties from prying into your internet activity.
Combined with built-in security features that help block known trackers and malicious sites, you get private and secure browsing across all your iOS devices.
Compatible with all your devices
ExpressVPN for iOS is fully compatible with iPhones and iPads, offering optimized performance, secure connections, and easy installation via the App Store.
You can secure up to 14 devices simultaneously under a single subscription, protecting your Mac, Air, Mini, Apple TV, and smart TVs. We also have the Fortify router, which protects all the devices in your home without having to install the app on each one. It also works with Windows or Android devices (we know, but putting it here just in case).
*Users who activate the 3-day free trial or purchase their subscriptions through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store do not have access to the ExpressVPN 30-day money-back guarantee and are subject to their respective app stores’ refund policies and discretion.
**Fortify has built-in VPN capabilities and comes with a 12-month ExpressVPN Advanced subscription. VPN features require an active ExpressVPN subscription to work.
Extra protection with kill switch and split tunneling
VPN connections drop, it happens to the best of us. When it does, your location and data become visible. But not with ExpressVPN’s kill switch. If your connection drops, our kill switch automatically turns on to block all traffic until the connection is restored, protecting your location and your personal info.
Want to access other locations but need to stay local for, say, your banking app? Split tunneling lets you choose which apps use the VPN connection, and which stay on your local connection.
Keep ad trackers and data collectors away
Have you noticed how the ads you see are from sites you’ve been to, or are closely related to your individual interests? That’s advertisers using your data to track and target you online and in your apps.
iOS does provide some tracking protection in Safari. But ExpressVPN comes with an ad blocker, stopping most display ads from showing up across your apps and browser.
