    From what I understand, Google One had its own persistent notification (left side) when using the VPN as well as the normal key icon (right side). So now it just has the latter.

      Nope. I have my Pixel 7 on Android 13 and my Pixel 8 on Android 14.

      The only difference is when you activate on Android 13, you get notification it’s connecting and it’s connected. Neither are permanent, and I can dismiss them.

      Android 14 has no notification and just shows you on the app it’s connected now (different UI).

      It never had a persistent notification, so I’d reason the author was misinformed or misunderstood the change when somebody told them.
