“ According to the complaint, LinkedIn has not only been spying on its users, it has been spying on their nearby computers and other devices”
Facebook’s SDK’s which are embedded in more than 30-40% of all Android apps also scan the users internal network and also uses Bluetooth looking for devices nearby.
I was shocked to discover that more than half of the third party apps I had installed had Facebook’s software embedded in them.

I think you can use the fdroid app 'ClassyShark3xodus' to scan apps installed and apks on your phone for trackers etc. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.oF2pks.classyshark3xodus/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.oF2pks.classyshark3xodus...
