Is it effective to have a feature where your bluetooth address randomizes itself, like the randomize MAC address feature?

    I bring this up because of Bluetooth beacons being deployed in stores

    Bluetooth should be turned off when not in use. You can't track something that doesn't exist.

        [deleted] exactly.

        @OfflinePuffin setup bluetooth to auto turn off after a small time. Its a touch inconvenient to need to re-enable it when you get back in to your car or when you put your headphones back on, but worth it in the long run.

          Yes that is good but what about when connected to devices... The Unique Bluetooth address is still broadcasting. One example is in a car driving being picked up by other cars or beacons

          Side note on this
          I know that having a unique address will stop auto connect but if you have a devices that relies on unique address auto connect then a simple toggle should work its not ideal but there are some use cases where it's necessary
