    Gross. Does it still track bluetooth if the phone is already paired with a headset and not actively searching for new connections? Guess I’ll be back to wired headphones if that’s the case.

      yes, iirc phones still advertise periodically. best to switch it off when not in use.

        The issue aren’t necessarly phones. Some/most can randomize their MAC. The issue are the gadgets: watches, earbuds, etc. Can’t turn off BT there.
