    So you have to leave bluetooth on, which means your device is broadcasting an active bluetooth signal.

    If any random shop can use any phone’s active bluetooth to track and profile every user that’s i side or nearby, I don’t want to have bluetooth active when in public. Genuinely not worth it just to fi d some glasshole pervert when my own eyes can do the job without giving away any more of my data. That’s what I’m on about.

      No, you can spot a weirdo turn blue tooth on and confirm it, then turn it off.

      Look, I don’t think this app is for someone like you.
