Can Android apps use WebRTC, or is WebRTC only available in browsers?

If Android apps can use WebRTC, how can it be blocked per app or system-wide to prevent IP or network leaks?

Thanks, but my main concern is with Android apps, not just browsers. It seems that any app using WebRTC can obtain a user’s real IP address, even when a proxy is being used
