 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:
 > !https://goo.gl/O3FfS!

 '''''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:
 > https://goo.gl/2OA1y

 '''''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.'''''
