Find the vendor name of a device by entering an OUI or a MAC address
How do I randomize the MAC address on Android?
Starting from Android 8.0, Android devices use random MAC addresses when searching for new networks while not currently associated with a network.
In Android 9, you can enable a developer option (disabled by default) to have the device use a random MAC address when connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
In Android 10, MAC randomization is enabled by default for client mode, SoftAp, and Wi-Fi.
For devices running Android 10 or later, the framework uses randomized MAC addresses by default.
Turn on/off the feature for a particular network
- Go to the Settings app on your Android device.
- Select Network & Internet or Connections > Wi-Fi .
- Tap the gear icon next to the Wi-Fi name your device is connected to.
- Tap on Privacy .
