Yo, the paranoia is real lol. Yeah, your phone ip number is out there whenever you go online. Hackers *can* grab it, but most randos won’t bother unless you’re doing something risky (like clicking shady links).
Creepy ad networks? 100%. They love tracking phone ip numbers for targeted ads.
VPNs aren’t overkill—they’re basic privacy now. Try ProtonVPN if you want a free option. Also, disable “Wi-Fi scanning” in your phone settings. Helps a ton.
