No one was clutching their phone, except the Samsung I was holding to test. The iPhones were locked. Then I picked one up and unlocked it and nothing changed. Still three unnamed MAC addresses on the Samsung. How do you know if a phone is broadcasting a MAC address?

If you take that phone and go away from other phones/houses, and check for mac addresses again, do you see any mac on your samsung? Then do the same without that phone - do you see any macs? If you don’t both times, means that that phone is “clean”. An empty park away from structures/buildings would be best, or a field.

Even better - close that phone inside a microwave oven and step away, see if the mac disappears. Don’t run the microwave lol! https://www.signalboosters.com/blog/top-12-materials-that-block-wifi-signals/

100m should be more than enough https://www.scienceabc.com/innovation/what-is-the-range-of-bluetooth-and-how-can-it-be-extended.html#:~:text=The%20range%20of%20Bluetooth%20depends%20on%20its%20class,at%20a%20range%20of%20less%20than%2010%20meters.
