I am a bot, and this comment was posted automatically. Wondering the steps to take to make my note 8 totally anonymous so there's less chance of anything getting hacked after downloading tor system. Thanks to system33- for providing this copypasta. No other app for Android has Tor Project's blessing and you're on your own if you use them. It has a VPN mode that uses Android's built-in VPN functionality to force some/all apps over Tor it does not magically make you more secure and it does not add a VPN to your connection. It is a tiny little wrapper around Tor that allows other apps to proxy over the Tor network.

You can take further actions like replace GBoard with an open source alternative that does no tracking like Open Board or AnySoftKeyboard both being available on F-Droid. However it puts the keyboard in incognito mode. Orfox will no longer be maintained and is replaced by Tor Browser for Android. Tor Browser is designed to protect you from tracking through the network but not really from your own device.
