I live in a big city in the center. When i activate “Show bluetooth devices without names” in the developer settings of my android 13 phone, there appear loads of this devices. I have no clue what they are. Does anyone know? Are that the bluetooth nanobots of the vaxxinated people? (/s to last question!)

    I think that option just shows MAC addresses (or whatever it is BT uses) instead of the devices’ names?

      It shows all Bluetooth devices in range, whereas normally Android only shows ones which your phone knows the name of, either because they’re in pairing mode and thus broadcasting their name, or because you’ve paired before.
