If I should, are there ways I could install such apps with a spoofed Device ID or something like that?

    Yes. Anything with “ID” in the name should give you pause, especially when its designated to you by the largest surveillance company on the planet.

    You can simply delete it.

    Settings --> Privacy --> Ads --> Delete advertising ID.

      I don’t know if my Device ID with my real location would end up in the hands of a Data Broker(s) that would start profiling other data linked to my location to then sell it to other Data Broker(s), that’s my only worry

          Can I force it to change or spoof it? VPN may sometimes break connection out of nowhere, I hardly have this experience on PC but on mobile it just seems to occur a lot more often
