I know there are apps that try to detect them but I don't want to leave Bluetooth enabled on my phone 24/7 permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] med@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago* In my experience, those apps don't detect immediately, sometimes only alarming beyond 5 mins after contact.
