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.
MAC randomization doesn’t help as much as you might think - your phone is periodically asking out for WiFi ssids that it wants to automatically connect to, such as your home and work.
After ssids are collected, these can be looked up on sites like wiglewifi to find your address.

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.
