A hidden Android 16 bug silently breaks VPNs after updates, exposing users’ data with no warning.
A critical bug in Android 16 is causing VPNs like Proton VPN, Mullvad, and WireGuard to disconnect silently, leaving users unaware their data is exposed.
The issue, reported since August 2025, triggers when a VPN app updates via the Google Play Store, disrupting the network stack without error messages.
Despite Google acknowledging the problem, no fix has been released after seven months.
Users are advised to disable automatic updates and manually verify VPN status.
The flaw affects multiple devices and stems from system-level changes in Android’s network handling, raising ongoing privacy and security concerns.
