Android's DNS over HTTP/3
Google announced integration of DoH for android devices. Prior to this, since Android 9.0, users could use the "Secure DNS" option to use DoT, a different implementation, for a secure resolver at their devices. Now in the latest versions of Android Secure DNS option detects if the provider have support for DoH and upgrades the connection for a faster, securer and more censorship-resistant DNS-resolving experience.

You can contact me on XMPP and Matrix. Be aware that Matrix is centralized due to the fact that most people make an account on Matrix.org operated by the Matrix Foundation - That's a lot of metadata controlled unjust by just one entity.
