    If you’re ok with doing some selfhosting, a DNS filter like PiHole or Adguard Home should take care of those. A nice bonus is that these can also block most in-app ads :)

    If you setup a VPN like Tailscale you can even make your phone traffic go through a DNS filter you serve at home, so your privacy is always protected.

      alternatively, you can use adaway to get the same blocklists directly on your phone.

      its better with root but it works rootless.

        I do have dns filter on the vpn server but no controll over the lists. DNS solutions that use the VPN won’t do it. I can of course change DNS server (and I’m gonna setup Adguard on my extra glinet router once they fix their botched firmware update) question is if trackers use more than publich IPS and doesn’t change. An updated list would work I guess.
