Native Android Connect Assist UX

As discussed in the 13.5a3 and 13.5a4 release posts, we have been working on bringing the connect-assist feature from Desktop to Android. The work continues, and we now have an initial implementation of this feature exposed via native Android interface.ZMJ免费翻墙网

You can access the native Android interface by navigating to Settings > Tor Network and selecting Enable beta connection features. From there, select Native Android UI. The HTML UI option is still available for debugging purposes, but will be removed once this feature stabilises in 13.5.ZMJ免费翻墙网

Please give this feature a go! The native UI is not yet feature complete but regardless, if you run into problems please open an issue on our gitlab or on our forum.ZMJ免费翻墙网

If you find a bug or have a suggestion for how we could improve this release, please let us know.ZMJ免费翻墙网
