TrackerControl scans all installed apps for trackers and blocks most tracking requests. It also lets you block internet access for certain apps and can monitor system apps such as Google Services. Be aware that TrackerControl often blocks trackers that are necessary for an app or certain features to work properly, so you may have to manually disable blocking of specific trackers.
