One Android setting I changed stops most apps from tracking me - and it takes 10 seconds

Advertising ID enables cross-app tracking by ad SDKs, building profiles sold to data brokers for targeted advertising; deleting breaks tracking while resetting only changes the ID.

The creepy targeted ads on my phone vanished after I changed one setting

The ads on my phone were getting too personal. I could look up headphones once and then see them everywhere, from YouTube to random free games. Even after I stopped shopping, the same product continued to follow me. It became a steady reminder that my activity might be linked across apps, and I could not ignore it. I opened my privacy settings to see what I could change.
