## Connect assist comes to Android
This alpha is the first release with Desktop's censorship circumvention feature (connect assist) available on Android! You can try it out for yourself by navigating to the `Settings > Tor Network` and selecting `Enable beta connection features`.
**NOTE**: This feature is very much in development and is still quiet brittle and liable to breakage. Do *not* toggle this option if you value your current Tor Browser for Android Alpha configuration. If this option gets the app into an unusable state, you can get back to the legacy bootstrapping system by clearing the app's storage and cache via the Android system settings. Of course, doing so will also delete any existing configuration options so please do not enable this option if this would be a problem for you.
When this feature ships in 13.5 in late spring/early summer 2024, Android users connecting from censored networks should have the exact same bootstrapping functionality Desktop users currently have. If they are unable to connect to the Tor Network, Tor Browser will query the anti-censorship backend to determine which pluggable transports and bridges they need to use based upon their locale and the current censorship landscape. The browser will then attempt to bootstrap once more with the new settings applied. Our hope is that this will take a lot of the guesswork out of connecting to the Tor Network for our mobile users, and ensure unfettered network access during censorship events.
For now we expect this new bootstrapping UX to be buggy, but we wanted to get it into the hands of users as early as possible so we can iterate and find and fix bugs as early as possible.

We should go over those notes and salvage whatever we still find useful and potentially integrate that in our [notes from the Costa Rica session](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/team/-/wikis/202304ImproveCoreContributorProcess).
