Road-test the new features currently in development and give feedback
Surfshark is rolling out a revamped Beta Tester Program, and it's ideal if you enjoy getting your hands on new features before everyone else. Beta testing lets companies like Surfshark invite real users to test upcoming software releases, apps, or games before a public launch. Other companies, like WhatsApp offer similar schemes, to ensure there are no showstopping bugs or glitches when software rolls out worldwide.
Surfshark, known for having one of the best VPNs, is now opening the doors for Windows and Android users to try out brand-new features, design tweaks, and updates. It's also inviting feedback to help shape the future of its app, which combines a Virtual Private Network with ad blockers, security features, and more.
Yes, the programme will give beta testers a private Discord hub — an instant messaging platform – where you can chat directly with Surfshark's own developers, so you can give feedback directly without filling out a form.
Want to get your hands on the latest-and-greatest features from the Surfshark team? Here's how.
If you're looking to sign up for Surfshark's Beta Tester Program, you'll need an active subscription to its VPN service. And its latest offer means you can get 86% off + three months free. You'll need to sign up for a two-year plan to unlock these savings, but with a 30-day money-back guarantee and 24/7 customer service, there's no risk for new customers
Gabriele Sinkeviciute, Head of Product at Surfshark, said: "Our mission is to build the most beloved security product for everyone, but for that, we need input from our community.
"Surfshark's development team and I are genuinely excited to always receive feedback from our users. Oftentimes, we are buried so deep into our product that we don't see the small details or inconveniences, and that's why we need users' input to be a part of how Surfshark services are being shaped."
If you want to join the programme, Windows users just need to open their Surfshark app, head to Settings, then App settings, scroll down to Beta Testing, and hit Join Beta.
For Android users, it's even easier— just pop over to the Surfshark app page on the Google Play Store, find the Join the beta section, and tap Join.
There's one catch, though — you do need to be an active Surfshark subscriber to take part.
Once you're enrolled, you'll get an invite to the private Discord group, where you can connect with the developers and other testers from around the world.
The feedback gathered through the programme will directly shape future feature improvements and help guide the development of entirely new products based on what you actually want to see arrive soon. And if you subscribe to other VPN providers like ExpressVPN or Proton, they also offer their own testing programmes.
