How to see which app is trying to desperately contact api.segment.io (lazysoci.al)

Looking at my Pi-Hole logs, one app is trying hard AF to contact segment.io. The only issue is, it's my second phone and while most apps are the same as what's on my first, I tried uninstalling a bunch and it's still trying desperately. Does anyone know of a way to find out which app is the culprit?

If you're willing to fork over a few $ for a good app, pick up netguard, pay for the pro features and support the project, then use the filter network traffic feature. Should allow you to narrow it down fairly quickly.

This was going to be my next course of action, but it didn't get to that. Thanks for the suggestion though.
