Hi,

Currently for my Android, I use a Google account created years ago with my real information (first name, last name, phone, etc.) and I have a few apps purchased on it.  
My account is only for the Play Store, I don’t use any other Google service except this one.

Is there any point in creating a new account with fake information to gain anonymity and if you use a real or fake Google account?

Thank you in advance.

I think generally not using full real information is better whenever possible. I don’t think the gain is high but see no reason why not to do it.
