I think this might be what you’re looking for: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard
With a term that broad- how is anyone supposed to answer you?
In an app? On a website? Something you suspect the hardware might be doing?

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?

GOS let’s you disable Bluetooth automatically if your not using it. So yes, it protects against Bluetooth trackers that way.
If you mean the airtags and whatever google is calling their airtags, no, it’s not baked I to the osz but you can install apps to show you all the trackers in your vicinity

Welcome to the wonderful world of Bluetooth Mac address tracking, often used in stores to track the location of customers throughout the store. So yes absolutely Bluetooth tracking is a real thing, turning off your Bluetooth radio prevents your Bluetooth radio from being tracked.

Bluetooth beacons, which I believe most people are thinking of when they talk about air tags, or Bluetooth tiles, are a different thing entirely.
Bluetooth threats:
- a phones radio being tracked
- a Bluetooth beacon planted on someone

Does Graphene OS allow MAC address randomization for bluetooth
Actually, I believe AOSP allows for a MAC address randomization when not connected to a device, but as the UCSD paper above indicates, it’s still quite fingerprintable
