Advertising ID and Personalization
I too have 'opt out of ads personalization' enabled, but the description is: "Instruct apps not to use your advertising ID to build profiles or show you personalized ads."
The effect and meaning SHOULD be: default: give each app a fake value when this is called (configurable to always nil, random, or 'static per app') and also instruct them to ignore the value.
Reset advertising ID is text at the top, the opposite end of the screen from the ID displayed, and it is not obvious this is a 'button' text. That's a dark pattern to me.
Currently? Nothing. [0] (As Android allowed the ID to be used for non-advert purposes).
However, it should soon appear as a 0'd string. (Because, obviously, it was still being used for that purpose).
> Starting in late 2021, when a user opts out of interest-based advertising or ads personalization, the advertising identifier will not be available. You will receive a string of zeros in place of the identifier. [1]
