DoH and DoT configurations are not always possible.
In the specific case of Android devices, it is necessary to have the Android 9 operating system in order to configure DoT. 
**PLEASE NOTE**: There is still no implementation of DoH configuration.

To enable DoT in an Android dispotive, it is necessary to open the general settings and, consequently, select the "connection and sharing" item.

Within connection and sharing you will be able to select private DNS.

Basically in all phones, private DNS will be disabled.

To change DNS from off, you need to click on *designed DNS*.

For DoT to work properly, the DNS designed will require us to have a certain address.  So we will need to *enter the address that we obtained by activating the designed DNS from the customer Area*.
