  Discontinued XPrivacy - The ultimate, yet easy to use, privacy manager

XPrivacy for rooted android could do this 7+ years ago and there are other modern alternatives (but I haven't rooted my phone for a long time so I can't vouch for them): https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacy

Obviously that is not mainstream, I agree it should come built in. But then both Android and iOS allow bullshit like region-locked apps or preventing screenshots from DRM content, so good luck with that.

  SafetyNet & Play Integrity API workarounds for Magisk (by Displax)

FWIW: Rooting seems fairly easy at this point in time, at least for pixel devices.

Flash with magisk, install Universal Safetynet Fix (https://github.com/Displax/safetynet-fix/) and you're passing safetynet / play integrity API.

I haven't come across a single app that doesn't work due to root currently, but I limit my installed apps.

  Discontinued Really simple to use privacy manager for Android 6.0 Marshmallow and later

Hell yeah, fake data should totally be an option!

This could be achieved with something like Xposed, a cool project is https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua.

I actually made a "clone" with the option to generate data per permission as a school project, good times
