I have a Swift iOS app which I want to avoid the process of creating a login/signup authentication for user. But still allowing individual users to able to save certain content of the app. Therefore improvising a form of unique id in Firebase, to retrieve all saved info saved only for that phone/user.
How would this be possible only using Realtime Database Firebase?

You can put whatever data you want in Realtime Database - your own generated IDs, if you want. I don't really understand the problem you're running into here.

You'd typically use anonymous sign in on Firebase Authentication for that. This generates a unique ID the first time you call Auth.auth().signInAnonymously(), and then uses that to identify the app instance. You could use that to key the data you store for that user in the database.

Yep, the anonymous user's UID is persisted to disk, so restored between sessions. It is wiped is when the user uninstalls the app, or when you sign them out.
