Hi there! I understand that your Orbot app on your iPhone is stuck in a loop where it's trying to connect but never successfully connects, and it keeps reconnecting. Let's work through this together.
First, can I check a couple of things to understand your setup better? 1. Are you using the latest version of Orbot installed from the App Store? 2. Is your internet connection stable? Are you using Wi-Fi or cellular data? 3. Have you tried restarting the app or your iPhone already?
Meanwhile, here are some general steps that often help with an Orbot connection loop:
1. Restart Orbot and Your iPhone: - Close the Orbot app completely (swipe up from the app switcher to quit). - Power off your iPhone and then turn it back on. - Launch Orbot again and try connecting.
2. Check Internet Connection: - Make sure your internet is working on other apps. - Switch between Wi-Fi and cellular data to see if one works better.
3. Reset Orbot Settings: - Sometimes configuration issues can cause a loop. - In Orbot, go to settings and look for an option to reset settings to default.
4. Allow Necessary Permissions: - Ensure Orbot has the necessary permissions on your iOS device, like VPN permissions or network access.
5. Disable Battery Optimization: - iOS sometimes restricts background activity that might impact Orbot. - While iOS handles this differently than Android, keeping the app in the foreground for the initial connection attempt can help.
If you have tried these and the problem continues, the issue might be more specific to the app or your network environment. In that case, please let me know which steps you have tried already, and if you have any error messages or status info in Orbot's interface.
We can also explore advanced troubleshooting or check if there are any current server issues with Orbot.
Does any of this sound like what you've tried or what you're seeing? Happy to guide you step-by-step!
