Problem phenomenon:

When searching for WiFi, can realme protect the location information from being leaked? Can realme protect personal data from Wi-Fi probe requests coming from random MAC addresses or Wi-Fi probe sniffers?


Solutions:

Wi-Fi-capable devices, like smartphones, often automatically send out probe requests in order to detect available Wi-Fi networks in the area. These probe requests include a device identifier known as a MAC address. A non-randomized persistent MAC address uniquely identifies a device for as long as it is in operation, making it easy to track over time. realme devices utilize randomized MAC addresses to increase privacy. realme will protect your personal data from Wi-Fi probe requests coming from random MAC addresses and Wi-Fi probe sniffers when your device is searching for a Wi-Fi network.
