Something like PiHole for localhost only to run on phones when away from trusted WiFi.

I think that exist. There are also some public dns providers that partially offer that for free.

Check apps: blokada, dnsnet (fdroid), Adguard (the paid one, there are discounts for lifetime for as low as ~$10), I think even DDG browser used to have that.

Often they work by providing a fake vpn that is hosted from localhost and filters ads. So it can work for any app and you can cherry pick them.

NextDNS is great for that: https://nextdns.io/
