FAQ

Travel privacy, answered.

What should I scan when I arrive at an Airbnb?

Run all four scans in order: lens-glint (visual sweep with phone camera), WiFi network list, BLE tracker scan, and magnetic check on suspicious surfaces. Takes about a minute total.

Will my host see that I scanned?

No. All scans are passive and run locally on your device. The host has no way to know you ran Bluewex.

How long does a full scan take?

Roughly 30–60 seconds for the WiFi, BLE, and magnetic scans combined. The lens-glint check takes as long as you spend walking the room.

What if I find something suspicious?

Document it (photo + screenshot of Bluewex results), then contact Airbnb support and local authorities if appropriate. Listing a suspected hidden camera is a violation of Airbnb policy.

Does it need the WiFi password?

The WiFi network scan requires you to join the local network. The other three scans (lens-glint, BLE, magnetic) work offline.
