They can’t do squat unless you’re running a server on your phone (why would you?).
IPs are like mailing addresses—they know where to *send* junk, but can’t break in unless you leave the door open.
Just keep your phone updated and don’t install weird APKs.

Honestly, the paranoia around what can someone do with an android phone ip address is overblown.
Worst case? They *might* geolocate you to a nearby city. But exact address? Nah.
If you’re still sketched out, use Orbot for Tor routing. Overkill? Probably. But peace of mind is nice.
