But you have to hurry because Saturday steals, they disappear fast.

Well, first let's talk about how you can get tracked.

Of course, Apple AirTags and Tile trackers, they're cheap, they're tiny.

Someone can slip one into your bag, your car, your coat pocket, you wouldn't even know it.

Now, your phone will alert you if you have an iPhone, if you have an unknown AirTag that's traveling with you.

Android users, you have to get the Tractor Detect app from Play Store.

But there are other ways.

I don't know if you've ever heard of Stalkerware.

Those are specialty apps that someone can install on your phone, really frightening stuff.

Watches your location, gets copies of all your text messages, your phone calls.

There are some red flags that you may have stalkerware on your device.

Like, for example, the battery drains super fast.

The phone is warm or hot to the touch when you're not even using it.

Oh, and then also data usage will spike.

And then you should also check your app list for anything that you don't recognize.

And sometimes it may look like a calculator or maybe a folder that you didn't even recognize.

And inside there, there could be stalkerware.

See, that's the hard part.

I mean, when you are being tracked, you really have to be paranoid.

And you know that old saying, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not after you.
