This option does not affect connections on other tabs and does not clear any private information or unlink your activity.

When Tor Browser is running, you would see so in your device's notification panel after expanding it along with the button "NEW IDENTITY".
Tapping on this button will provide you with a new identity.
Unlike in Tor Browser for Desktop, the "NEW IDENTITY" button in Tor Browser for Android does not prevent your subsequent browser activity from being linkable to what you were doing before.
Selecting it will only change your Tor circuit.
Note: New Identity feature is not working in latest versions of Tor Browser for Android. [Bug #42589](https://bugs.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/42589)
