On android when you go to the wifi settings you’re currently connected to there should be a setting for randomizing mac address per connection or per network. If you change it to per connection, once you disconnect and reconnect your mac address should change. On per network, it will randomly generate the mac address for the first connection and keep that address for that wifi forever.
Yeah, recently I was on school wifi and it kept bothering me to log in and figured I needed to switch to per network or it would bother me everytime to sign into the captive portal.

Most Android phones have an option to randomize MAC per WiFi, enabled by default. Maybe you can trigger a new MAC by forgetting the network and reconnecting?
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.
Let’s pretend someone didn’t know how to do that on an android. How would you explain it to them?

Excellent explanation, thank you. Never knew what that difference was.

Would airport networks have randomization enabled?
That’s neat, thank you for the tip!
There was a way to do it on older Android phones with a specific Mac address changer but it broke after android 6 got released.
