Description
page I'm referencing is: https://guardianproject.info/apps/orbot/
fixes should be made in the 4th paragraph, the section outlining features after the screenshot:
★ PRIVATE CHAT MESSAGING: Use Gibberbot with Orbot to chat confidentially with anyone, anywhere for free. Get Gibberbot:

been awhile since it was called gibberbot, hasn't it? should probably change that to chatsecure
★ PRIVACY FOR APPS: Any installed app can use Tor if it has a proxy feature, using the settings found here:

The short url unmasks to the exact page it's on. Seeing as there are multiple possibilities (localhost: 9050, localhost 9040, localhost 8118, and http/https/socks4/socks4a/socks5) and no real explanation of the proper proxy configuration, there should be at least a section with that info and how they are connected to each other, because sending everything through tor doesn't work, and there is a bug in the individual apps selection I will detsail in a separate ticket if it hasn't yet been reported that makes the option virtually unusable.
Set all open tickets without a severity to "Normal"
