Can Android Id Be Changed?
Contents

The Android ID value only changes if the device is factory reset or if the signing key rotates between uninstall and reinstall events. This change is only required for device manufacturers shipping with Google Play services and Advertising ID.

How do I reset my Android device ID?

HOW TO RESET YOUR ANDROID ADVERTISING DEVICE ID. To reset your Android advertising ID, Open Google Settings on your Android device by tapping on menu and then on Google Settings once all apps are displayed on the screen. Locate and tap on the Ads menu under Services. Tap on “reset advertising ID” on the new page.

What happens if you change your device ID?

What people do when they “change” the ID is to put a patch into memory and redirect any access of the OS or apps to IMEI to that memory location, so that the phone reports a fake IMEI to the outside world. Second: Nobody can trace or find the phone using the IMEI.
