Using sync for Android.

And I get that Sync doesn't control ads. But I wonder if there's settings to adjust? Because this is super creepy.

Is your phone using your pi-hole for DNS? Or is it using Android/WiFi configured to use custom DNS e.g. 9.9.9.9, 1.1.1.1, etc.?

DuckDuckGo's Android app's VPN based ad blocker works to block it's ads, at least for me. I don't have a link to their host file though.

Check your Pi-Hole logs to see if your phone shows up, and if so, open Sync and see what pops up in your logs.
