        Tracker Control on Android works well for system-wide tracker and ad blocking, and you can configure custom blocking rules per-app. Works without root by using a VPN profile (but no data leaves your device via the VPN, it just routes the traffic through this app).

        Set your DNS servers to dns.adguard-dns.com (Settings > search for DNS). Also you should install the DDG app and enable App Tracking Protection. You don’t actually have to use the browser portion of the app for it to work. After doing these two things, ads and trackers will be blocked in every app.

      Instead of selling, you could also just throw it in the trash

      I tried. I have to wait another 13 months or pay an extra $500 because when I signed up they gave me an iPhone SE for free and if I upgrade to soon I have to pay it off and I don’t get the next phone for free either.

      Verizon is shifty af

      EDIT: I apologize for saying Verizon is shitty and in the future I will think about my comments before I hit save.

          It’s an Iphone SE 22. I would end up paying more than it’s worth to switch phones due to fees. I hope whatever is hurting your heart mends.

            Oh my heart is fantastic, Suzanne, but thanks for your concern.

            I just don’t go online and complain about the terms of legal contracts that I signed while blaming the company for being the bad guys for setting forth the terms that you, again, agreed to.

            🤦

            Edit: And your downvotes mean nothing either rofl.
