Route app connections through Tor on Android with Orbot, a free VPN and proxy app.
About Org.torproject.android
Orbot is an Android VPN and proxy app from Guardian Project. It routes internet traffic from other apps through the Tor network. According to the homepage, Tor encrypts traffic and passes it through a series of computers around the world, which makes it harder for someone monitoring the network to see which apps or websites are being used. Such a monitor can still see that Tor is in use.
The homepage notes that routing through several relays takes longer than a direct VPN or proxy connection. It also states that no technology is 100% foolproof and that users must follow security best practices to protect their safety and anonymity.
