What's the new Google Connectivity Services application?

[slyyyy]

Got a new update in the play store for Google Connectivity Services. Looks like they can now update connectivity issues through this service rather than a version update.

Yep.

"Google Connectivity Services helps Android handle network connections. Keep it updated to ensure your device has the latest networking capabilities, including support for connecting to Wi-Fi networks automatically and using a Google VPN to help secure your data."

The Google Connectivity Services app is related to Google's Project Fi wireless service. If you subscribe to Project Fi then the app helps connecting to open wifi using a Google VPN to encrypt your data and to help the phone switch between T-mobile, Sprint or WiFi depending whichever one is stronger.

Just Google search Project Fi
