I think this is a feature of Google One subscription. Is it free for non-subscribers?
It was recently added to Google One. I don’t think it’s free. Others in the thread have said that it was also offered on some of Google’s Phones in the past.

Google's unbelievably aggressive BS is the just about the only reason I run a VPN. Despite taking extraordinary steps to block them, Google still manages to regularly shove their BS into my life.
Google removed "Don't Be Evil" from their mission statement for a reason.
