# Privacy & Random MAC's
|
||||||
|
<!--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --->
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The latest versions of some operating systems (IOS and Android) incorporate a
|
||||||
|
new & interesting functionality to improve privacy: **Random MACs**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This functionality allows you to **hide the true MAC** of the device and
|
||||||
|
**assign a random MAC** when we connect to WIFI networks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This behavior is especially useful when connecting to WIFI's that we do not
|
||||||
|
know, but it **is totally useless when connecting to our own WIFI's** or known
|
||||||
|
networks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**I recommend disabling this operation when connecting our devices to our own
|
||||||
|
WIFI's**, in this way, Pi.Alert will be able to identify the device, and it
|
||||||
|
will not identify it as a new device every so often (every time IOS or Android
|
||||||
|
decides to change the MAC).
