You’ll have to use a static IP address to enable a custom DNS on Android, which is going to get complicated. Cloudflare recommends you configure your wireless router to use its DNS instead.
Pull up your router’s settings. (How you do that varies by what type of router you have; consult your router’s manual if you’re not sure how to do it.)
Replace any of its DNS settings with Cloudflare’s: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 for IPv4 or 2606:4700:4700::1111 and 2606:4700:4700::1001 for IPv6.
Save your settings and restart your router

Since this is Greek to me. Why do this?
Unfortunately, by default, DNS is usually slow and insecure. Your ISP, and anyone else listening in on the Internet, can see every site you visit and every app you use — even if their content is encrypted
Creepily, some DNS providers sell data about your Internet activity or use it target you with ads
Is this the same as using cloudflare’s vpn?
@MountainMan the methods i shared mean all traffic goes through cloudflare DNS resolver these methods are for users who can't get the app or use a different vpn service
and the app is only available on android and iOS
both do the same job though but it is only the app that has the VPN built in > the warp VPN
