If I should, are there ways I could install such apps with a spoofed Device ID or something like that?
I would imagine the risk depends on the app, your use case of the phone and the app, and if you’re a high-profile target.
That said, Android phones have an Android ID, an Advertising ID, a sim ID, wifi ID, bluetooth ID, MAC address, IMEIs, and more.
There is an Xposed module called Android Faker that claims to spoof these IDs. It requires root and something that can manage xposed modules, such as LSPosed. I only use it for a few super sketchy apps that I need and don’t trust.
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.
why do you assume that advertising ID=Device ID
I would assume they are collecting IMEI when they say device
