Deleting the Google advertising ID from an Android phone doesn't reduce the number of ads you see, but it can impact how targeted those ads are. Here’s how it works:
1. **Ad Personalization:** The Google advertising ID is used by apps and advertisers to track user behavior and show personalized ads. Deleting or resetting this ID makes it harder for advertisers to track your activity and tailor ads specifically to your interests.
2. **Frequency of Ads:** The number of ads you see typically won't change. Apps and websites that rely on ad revenue will continue to show ads, but these ads might be less relevant to your interests.
3. **Privacy:** Resetting or deleting the advertising ID can enhance your privacy by reducing the amount of data that advertisers can collect about your app usage and behavior.
To reduce the number of ads, you might consider using ad-blockers or subscribing to ad-free versions of the apps and services you use.
