As title suggests, how do I go about stopping my phone from scanning my surroundings for extra devices?

Note: my phone was already connected to my own headphones.

    Search through your settings for a “Quick Pair” or “Fast Pair” option. Turn it OFF. Do not leave it turned on except during times when you’re wanting to use a known device you’ve bought new that supports the feature.

    Turn the feature off when not setting up new devices to work with other devices.

      For anyone running a ROM based very closely on AOSP, the ability to disable Fast Pair was sadly not built into the OS until Android 14

      Before Android 14, it is possible that Google has backported this setting to your device using Play Services. It can be found under Google Settings, Devices and sharing, Devices, and “Show Notifications”
