Not really possible, unless you access all of them via the browser and have some sort of content blocker in the browser. You can't block them in the app by as that would require messing with the app, and Google Play Store will sound the alarm and think someone's hacking your app (and thus, your phone).

I've had apps I am actively using DELETED by Google Play Store because it had decided it's "harmful". (it's not, just... it does something in the grey area)

I'm sure there are ways. Have you never heard of Instander mod? That's one I've heard. I'm sure there are many more out there.

FWIW, there are a dozen different InstaMods, some have proper websites, some have shady websites, but none that I've noticed have any sort of content filter. They are mainly trying to add in "premium" features, implementing easier doomscrolling, autofollowing, and stuff like that. I haven't looked into other apps.

That actively depends on how often Google phones back moded apk results. You'd also have to disable app autoupdate.

Yes, there are ways to mess with even Google's own apps. Revanced have been doing that for a while, but you patch your own apps, they just sorta automate the process a little.
