I am considering installing TikTok. Any suggestion on how to make it less privacy-invasive? (self.privacy)

I want to follow some people on tiktok, for the content they put out. I am, however, a somewhat privacy-minded person. Any suggestion on how to make TikTok less privacy-invasive? Some DNS app?

I am on Android, not rooted.

Totally fake profile data, VPN with DNS tracker blocking, and put it in a separate user profile or work profile.

Also consider the possibility of the app implementing DNS over https/TLS you may want to find a DNS that filters knonw DoH and block port 853 on your router.
