#12976: Orbot's new identity feature is not mentioned anywhere in app or
documentation

-------------------------+-----------------------
 Nowhere in the app UI, wizard or websites can I find any mention of the
 Orbot's new identity feature. I only discovered it by accident and I'm
 sure other users will be in a similar position. I thought I'd seen a bug
 of someone actually requesting for a new identity feature to be added
 because they didn't know it already existed, but I can't seem to find it
 now.

 I think a simple mention in the UI would be enough. Just like we already
 have ''Orbot is deactivated - long press to start -'', we could simply
 change the string ''Connected to the Tor network'' to something like
 ''Connected to the Tor network - Swipe for new circuit -''. A mention in
 the in-app wizard and/or in the interactive how-to on the Guardian Project
 website also wouldn't go a miss.
