3-line evidence

Bulletproof checks

Bottom line

No. A VPN can protect parts of the network path and hide your IP address from some parties, but it does not stop an app from recording activity tied to your logged-in account. Apps and sites can still use account identity, cookies, tracking pixels, GPS permission, and fingerprinting signals.

1

Logged-in activity is still tied to the account

If you use an account inside an app or website, the service can associate your actions with that account regardless of the VPN IP.

2

VPNs are not full anonymity tools

EFF explicitly warns that VPNs do not anonymize users and that tracking can still happen through cookies, tracking pixels, GPS, and fingerprinting.

3

The VPN still has a useful job

It can protect traffic from some local network observers, but app-level tracking is a different layer.
