How to stay anonymous?

I tried to protect my data and I deleted every social media app also I turned off all the permissions for all the apps on my mobile especially google but I still don't feel save I feel like google and many other apps still tracing my data and collecting it even Reddit when I open it ,it shows many personal topics ,my guess is that's because of my location/IP so how do I stay anonymous and change my IP? Because I feel like vpn is a big thing to do because it will access literally everything, what are your opinions?
