  On android when you go to the wifi settings you’re currently connected to there should be a setting for randomizing mac address per connection or per network. If you change it to per connection, once you disconnect and reconnect your mac address should change. On per network, it will randomly generate the mac address for the first connection and keep that address for that wifi forever.

    Excellent explanation, thank you. Never knew what that difference was.

    I think per connection is a GrapheneOS thing unless I'm wrong

      On stock (Pixel) Android, if you enable Developer Options, there is a setting under Networking called “Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomization” that randomizes the MAC per connection for networks that have randomization enabled.

      Samsung’s OneUI does this by default for all connections .

      Graphene just changed it to be enabled by default

      But maybe they hat this feature earlier than AOSP

      Yeah, on Android 12 I can only choose between “randomized MAC” and “phone MAC”. Doesn’t specify if it’s randomized per network or connection, but I’d guess it’s per network.

        By default it’s per network, but if you enable Developer Options, there is a setting under Networking called “Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomization” that randomizes the MAC per connection for networks that have randomization enabled. I am on Android 13 though, so I’m not sure if 12 has this option.

  Most Android phones have an option to randomize MAC per WiFi, enabled by default. Maybe you can trigger a new MAC by forgetting the network and reconnecting?

      Would airport networks have randomization enabled?

  There was a way to do it on older Android phones with a specific Mac address changer but it broke after android 6 got released.
