This usage update is also quite helpful to detect any type of malfunctioning of any app.
As per the report of Android Police, this new feature will work for smart devices that use an operating system like Android 7.0 or higher versions. Although it is not a problem considering Project Fi is largely limited to devices that Google updates. Fi app version of your device needed to be K.2.7.20 or higher and that is over a month old now. This version along with other recent versions is available on APK Mirror. It is suspected that the new data usage tracking tool is possibly a server-side switch.

According to Phandroid, no rollout time was declared for the estimated update. Some users are already reporting in the thread that this new Fi tool is not available on their devices till now. Smartphone users may have to update the Project Fi app on their device to check if they have got the update or not.
