Basically I don't want people tracing any of my devices, so I'm wondering how I change my IMEI on all of them, laptop, phone, smart watch even? Am I supposed to do it using Software on a PC or what.

you cant as far as I know. if you're really worried that much about privacy, you shouldn't even have a phone (only cellular connected devices have IMEI). 

 

the IMEI is sort of like the serial number. its not something you want to change even if you could

I've searched it up on Google. I got fake tutorials on YouTube. Anyways don't even reply to this. 

Did you look up any of the IMEI changers on the app store?

 

Btw, it looks to be illegal in the US and Europe, in case you were not aware.  So this thread will likely be locked soon.

I don't live in either of those continents/countries but okay good for you. And, I want it to be changed on my other devices too? So, I'm not sure the app store would help with those. But yeah.

again, IMEI is only for cellular devices. So thats phones, and smart watches. no other devices have IMEI. laptops/desktops do not have an IMEI. 

looks like its potentially possible, but because its illegal, I would advise against it.

 

Further discussion of this will likely get this thread locked/deleted

Again, I don't live in a country where it's "illegal". Literally shut up about it.
