  • Not normally, but features like this are being added as part of the new contact tracing API

    https://www.apple.com/covid19/contacttracing

    Before that, device to device Bluetooth could not be in the background.

    Note: you will not be able to use this API unless you have a legitimate health app backed by a government or established health organization.
