This is what Settings>Google looks like on my phone. No Networking

I have the exact same screen. Google Pixel XL, purchased from VZW. No Networking. Also, in the wifi where it it listed in a lot of articles, I have Switch to cellular data automatically in place of use open wifi automatically. Seems very fishy from VZW.

For those that don't have the option, what version of Google play services do you have?

 

[seventhson]

I still don't have the setting. Running Google Play Services version 9.8.77 which I believe is the latest. I've also heard people needed to install Google Connectivity Services which I've done, still nothing. I'm also running the latest version of android which I updated shortly after the initial setup.

Lots of people who haven't seen the setting have said it eventually showed up but I'm 21 hours into it and still have nothing.

Ignore, google play services is up to date

 

[DrJ31]

I just looked for google connectivity services, found it, but it says it is not available on my carrier VZW...

Wi-Fi Assistant includes a VPN service to keep your personal information private

ooohh is this thing free?

 

[gabbott]

ooohh is this thing free?

Yes

 

[noordzy77]

It definitely exists on Verizon phones on the Verizon network. It's in the Google options under networking, not the normal network options in the settings menu.

Sounds great...if there is a click through page you should only have to do that the first time ...right?
