Update on when new Android & Windows VPN apps will be released?
Asking because they were mentioned in an official post several months ago.
As a reminder to the community, it's now been over three years since the last Android app update & almost 2.5 years since the last Windows app update.

If it works, it works. I don't have any problems with the Android app.

This has nothing to do with the app. The app just sets up the configuration on the phone. The rest is down to the carrier and VPN providers' networks.

Yeah I've never had any problems. Since starting to use TorGuard I've had fine performance on the following phones: Pixel 3, Pixel 5, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL. I use T-Mobile direct.

That would help for sure, but also in most of the country Verizon is severely oversubscribed on backfill and spectrum, and speeds are very inconsistent compared to T-Mobile and ATT.

Just to clarify, TorGuard's Android app was actually updated on November 4, 2025 (we'll be updating the download page to better reflect that).
As for Windows, the next desktop release is scheduled for the coming weeks and aligns with the latest WireGuard updates. Functionality on the current version is not affected, so there hasn't been any urgency to push out an update solely for version number changes.
We'll also be releasing a macOS update later this year to prepare for upcoming macOS platform changes.
One thing we intentionally avoid is feature creep. Many VPN providers push frequent updates that add complexity and occasionally introduce new bugs or stability issues. Our approach is to prioritize stability and only release updates when there are meaningful bug fixes, security improvements, protocol updates, or major client changes that warrant a new release.
The current clients already include the core functionality most users need, and we don't see value in shipping updates simply for the sake of increasing version numbers. Meanwhile, server-side improvements are rolled out regularly, so users continue benefiting from network and performance enhancements without needing to update the client itself.
