Does Graphene OS have any implementations of detecting "Unknown Trackers" or does Graphene users just have to risk the possibility of getting tracked by weirdos? (Edit: I mean Bluetooth Trackers)

    Aha. It appears Google’s release of android has that sort of functionality baked in. I wasn’t aware of that.

    Still, it seems out of scope for an operating system.

    It looks like the EFF recommends some app called “AirGuard”- even over using the built in scanners.

        You can get airguard from fdroid, and it does periodically scan for trackers in this way.

        I haven’t really dug into this, but AirGuards github page claims the app scans periodically and will give you a notification on suspicious results.

        Your threat model seems… Interesting lol. Is there a high chance of people trying to aggressively plant a tracker on you when out in the open?
