I have two Android devices - say, A and B.
Also I use Kali Linux device KL with wpa_cli running.
Both A and B just booted, Wi-Fi on, no any apps that may affect experiment are installed.
When I run p2p_find on KL, it does not discover A, but suddenly does discover B. It's not KL's mistake - wireshark shows probe responses from B.
An when I run p2p_find on A, KL become discover also A (as I expect).
I expected that device should not be discoverable untill it itself start discovering.
But now I'm not sure - what behaviour is right? Should device be discoverable even if it is not itself discovers other devices?

On the phones check Settings -> Connections -> Phone Visibility. Is that enabled on either device? – Mokubai – 2017-10-21T09:59:57.087
These are Android 5 and 6 devices, so there is no "Settings -> Connections" on both. But it's good idea to look into settings, thank you. – Alexey – 2017-10-21T10:16:29.227
