When your Android (11) device is in the process of discovering available Wi-Fi networks (e.g. before you actually connect to one of them), is your Android device exposing its MAC address to these hotspots/routers or is this search for networks done without utilization of MAC address? And if MAC is used, is it also randomized like it is by default when connecting to the network or is in this case using real MAC?
