    I’m wondering if that is all fluff. Or phones constantly report to Google/Apple Wi-Fi and Bluetooth MACs.

    They could just scan what devices operate on that location and have Google/Apple report which users were near them at given time.

      Apple devices rotate WiFi and Bluetooth MAC addresses for security, I assume Android devices do the same.
