You've mastered using Facebook to track the location and activities of your social network, but now, to make things easier in real life, consider getting the (privacy-breaching, evasive) Spy Ear.

Feeling a little insecure in your relationship? Find out what your boyfriend or girlfriend is really up to when you're not around. The device connects to your [cell phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/who-is-tracking-my-phone) and is very easy to use -- just stick your [SIM card](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phonitor) in the Spy Ear and use another phone to call your number.
