Android Wi-Fi scan: why 'off' is not enough
Original: WLAN-SUCHE UNTER ANDROID: WARUM „AUS“ NICHT IMMER REICHT https:// gadgetchecks.de/wlan-suche-unt er-android-warum-aus-ni
German tech site Gadgetchecks explains that turning Wi-Fi off on Android phones does not always stop the device from scanning for wireless networks. The article links background scans to location services and privacy settings, warning users that their surroundings can still be tracked unless location access and related permissions are also disabled or restricted.
Why now: Privacy-conscious Android users are sharing the tip that disabling Wi-Fi alone does not fully prevent network scanning.
