While it's great to have the feature, privacy focused users should not rely on it and use Orbot instead. Orbot avoids that an app leaks the IP address while Tor-enabled leaves it to the dev of the app to enable tor for all calls and not only for some.

Humm.. good point. Is Orbot really that good? I had cases of leaking IP with Orbot. If the dev is not carefu with connection setup (mostly issues with dependencies doing the connection), it can leak indeed.
rely on orbot as proxy put pretty the same trust in app devs not leaking ip. Using it with orbot as vpn put this trust into the os.
It only does that if you are using orbot as a vpn
Orbot always breaks for me
It would be useful to have an indicator in the app whether it's on tor or clearnet, so I can be sure about what connections I'm using.
