Only if you don't turn WiFi off. To my understanding even the "soft off" option present in iOS stops the phone from beaconing, and just listens in order to collect data for building augmented location services. I don't know what the Androids do. These days both of them also offer randomized MAC address to curtail such tracking.

right, they were saying it's enough just to turn off location though.

tho tbh if i really cared, no phone/battery out/faraday cage is still the gold standard
