Improving iOS user experience with @gettor_bot

During the last several days we got several tickets from iOS users who tried to use our Telegram bot gettor_bot to download Tor Browser for iOS.

Currently, the bot shares the .ipa file of Onion Browser and says:

 -  Success!

Here's your Tor Browser (ios). Stay safe! 

gettor-print-2025

After that, users come to our support channels to ask how to install the Tor Browser IPA file they've got on their phones.

Sideloading is extremely complicated on iOS, and Onion Browser is available in the AppStore for users in Russia. So, can we share not only the .ipa but also a link to the app in the AppStore?

So can you please replace current answer with:

Here's your Onion Browser (iOS): https://apps.apple.com/app/onion-browser/id519296448

If you can't open the link above, you can try to sideload the .IPA file.

Otherwise, users can get the wrong impression that Tor Browser is available for iOS.
