As title suggests, how do I go about stopping my phone from scanning my surroundings for extra devices?

Note: my phone was already connected to my own headphones.

As long as they don't know who it is, you're safe.

This is how those iPhone crashes worked with the Flipper Zero, I believe. Which allegedly was also able to crash some medical devices and actually hurt people.

With the app that I linked to, I was able to crash friend's iPhone multiple times.
