Today XDA Senior Recognized Developer 'Chainfire' has released a new Android app called Pry-Fi, that allow a user to disable Wi-Fi completely, including the background network scanning.



According to the expert, the latest versions of Android OS keep on broadcasting MAC address of the Smartphone you are using; doesn't matter whether the Wi-Fi is turned ON or OFF.

"If your Wi-Fi is turned on, even though it is not connected to any network, your phone will periodically broadcast a unique number (the MAC address), as well as all the Wi-Fi network names and addresses it remembers ever connecting to. With newer Android versions this can happen even if Wi-Fi is turned off, due to a feature called "scanning always available", which helps your device better determine its location."

Major features of Pry-Fi:
  • Disable Wi-Fi completely: The app will completely disable Wi-Fi and all related services that automatically broadcast device information silently in the background.
  • Random MAC address: While you are not connected to a Wi-Fi network, the app will constantly assign a new random MAC address to the device. This feature will slowly poison the tracking database of spying agencies with useless information.
This application is available on Google Play for free download, but this app will only work on rooted android devices.
