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

    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

        Huh, I thought IMEI was something only useful to government and insurance and not possible for apps to read? I wasn’t worried about it if that’s the case, it’s on Android yes so probably SSAID (not sure about the Advertising ID, also can or is it common for apps to read MAC Address of devices to tie it to people?)

            USAID is pretty straight forward to spoof, you can either do it with adb using a PC, or by factory resetting the phone. (which is probably a last resort for you not sure.) edit: or you can create a virtual environment, or root and use Xposed/Magisk modules.

              These seem to be the 4 options particularly for ssaid. See my last comment. you should also be able to reset the advertising I.d which you can easily do right on your android phone’s settings without root.
