Yeah, on Android 12 I can only choose between "randomized MAC" and "phone MAC". Doesn't specify if it's randomized per network or connection, but I'd guess it's per network.

By default it's per network, but if you enable Developer Options, there is a setting under Networking called "Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomization" that randomizes the MAC per connection for networks that have randomization enabled. I am on Android 13 though, so I'm not sure if 12 has this option.

Hey, cool! It's here on Android 12 also! I take it as the network has to support randomization though, so it won't work in all networks?
