how to stop random people trying to connect to tv

this has become almost a daily issue where neighbours try and connect to my tv at random times, not always the same phone doing so. never while i'm playing anything loud so it can't be malicious. i live in an apartment so i share walls/ceiling with random people. we are not on the same wi-fi so i'm not sure why this would happen. usually i'll ignore it and they'll stop trying to connect after 30 seconds or so, but today i was playing a music playlist on youtube and got the "open youtube app to connect mobile device" notice and it just stayed there for minutes on end before i had to manually exit out (was in the middle of doing something). i often listen to playlists on youtube while busy or trying to sleep so this sort of thing pausing playback is really annoying. is there any way to prevent this or stop my tv from appearing as an option to connect to? i'll attach a picture in the comments.
