System wide DNS over TLS (DoT) as it’s called “Private DNS” was introduced in Android 9. Which was released in 2018. I’d genuinely like to know what Android device today ships with 8 or older, or, ships with 9 and later but has it intentionally removed. If you’re still using an Android device running 8… Why?? It has not received security updates since 2021 and is officially unsupported.
iOS devices can import certificates to enable system wide DoT. This was introduced in iOS 14. Which was released in 2020. Given how Apple has a 7 year track record for device support, the oldest Apple device to get 14 was the iPhone 6. Which shipped with iOS 9 on release.
My P30 Lite when it was on Android 9, had Private DNS, and it has been on more or less any phone I have seen, Samsung, stock, what have you. Search it in settings, it has to be there if Nougat or above.
For me it’s Block This! ad blocking, and every phone I own gets Smartlauncher. It makes every phone the same.
You can just set your private DNS to
dns.adguard.comUnfortunately not all phones support this
I’m finding it hard to believe this statement.

I’m pretty sure one of my wife’s phones did not have this setting, either Fairphone 4 or an older Huawei (definitely Android 9 or higher though)
Every iOS and Android supports this
Every Android phone since Android 9 Nougat has Private DNS in Settings?

Smart Launcher is fantastic
