I have an android and I can only use Tor through orbot to browse the Internet. Is there a way I can run all of my apps through Tor so that every app I use on my phone will be secured and untraceable?

Yes. This is build-in in the Orbot options. Just open the settings and scroll to the down side. There you can choose to run all your apps through Tor or just some of them.

I'm asking for my friend. I have an iPhone so I can't see specifically. Is the option for EVERY app? Like texting as well? Or just certain apps? – user3288334 May 29 '15 at 0:28

When you clik on
Tor Everythingoption all the traffic goes through Tor. If you want to have secure texting. You should use TextSexure for SMS or for chat - ChatSecure or something similar with OTR encryption. – Kasmetski May 29 '15 at 0:32 -
Yes, i've seen the option for route-all-to-tor some time ago, but as Kasmetski says, this is not ideal security if you consider your plain-text data's vulnerability in a big-nosed tor-exit. – Manumit May 29 '15 at 1:34
