You can use Google Public DNS, Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1), Quad9, AdGuard, or another DNS provider on your Android smartphone.

The steps in this video work for all Android phones, such as Samsung, Lenovo, Motorola, OnePlus, ASUS, Nokia, Google, Sony, LG, and other Android smartphones.

Changing DNS can improve your online security and privacy, may increase your internet speed, and maybe also unblock websites that are blocked by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

If your smartphone has Android 9, 10, or 11, then you can use “Private DNS” which uses DNS-over-TLS to provide security and privacy for your DNS queries.

For Private DNS you can use: dns.google or one.one.one.one (Cloudflare) or 1dot1dot1dot.cloudflare-dns.com or dns.quad9.net or dns.adguard.com.

If your smartphone runs Android 8 or an older version of Android, then you can use a DNS changer app, like Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1, BGNmobi's DNS Changer, or Quad9 Connect.

You can also change DNS manually via the wifi settings on your phone.

You can use the DNS server addresses below.

Google Public DNS:
DNS 1: 8.8.8.8
DNS 2: 8.8.4.4

Cloudflare DNS:
DNS 1: 1.1.1.1
DNS 2: 1.0.0.1

Quad9 DNS:
DNS 1: 9.9.9.9
