If you use an Android device, there are tools that you can use and take steps that can help you find your niche. You lose it or lose it, or fall victim to theft. Here are some useful resources at your disposal that you can use as long as your phone is on and connected to a mobile or Wi-Fi network. We strongly discourage using phone trackers to follow people around or for any illegal purpose.
