This is the last app anyone would suspect someone to use when cheating, private investigator reveals
There are many ways a person can catch a cheating spouse or significant other — like checking their social media following, reading their text messages, scrolling through their Venmo transaction history and so on.
However, according to a private investigator — there is one unexpected app that most people would never think to check if their loved one is being sneaky behind their back.
London-based private investigator Aaron Bond said if someone is suspicious of any naughty business going on in their relationship — check their supermarket loyalty apps, the ones that help shoppers save money and earn rewards.

'While most people think of text messaging and call logs as the obvious signs of cheating, there are often other signs that can uncover and paint a larger picture,' Bond told the Mirror.

He said a supermarket loyalty member app can reveal a lot.
'Clubcard data is limited, but it does tell you a date and location, which is easily accessible if you log into your account,' he told the outlet.
'If your partner claims they were working or out with friends but the account shows they made a purchase in a completely different area, then it's a clear red flag.'
This is just one of many tech red flags to be on the lookout for if you think the other person is cheating in your relationship.

If your significant other constantly conceals their phone — especially when notifications pop up, that's not a good sign.

'Notifications can also reveal cheaters, so it's common to switch them off or hide them if you're doing something you don't want your significant other to see,' radio show host, Kim Komando told the Daily Mail.
Clearing their search history on apps and closing tabs on Safari or Chrome are other big red flags for cheating.

'If they routinely access dating sites, secret email accounts or anything, they will probably think to cover their tracks,' Komando said.
A person's location history is another tell-tale sign that can reveal if they're being unfaithful.
Komando said to check this on your partner's phone — if you can — to see if there's one place in particular they frequent often.

Terry Savage: My top 10 lessons for entering the digital financial era
We live in a digital world, especially when it comes to money. And, like it or not, you'll soon be forced to get used to it — especially since the IRS will soon no longer accept or pay out with paper checks! On March 25, President Trump signed an executive order mandating that all federal departments and agencies end their use of paper checks and switch to electronic payments by September 30. Soon, you'll be required to make tax payments securely and directly from your bank to the IRS via their website! (See Don't get defensive here. I'm well aware that a certain generation has no intention of moving into this 'modern' digital era. My own (younger) brother will not let me get him a smartphone, and he truly believes that I check my email every hour to get his announcement that he arrived safely home! No texting for him! My plea: If you have already joined the digital revolution, please don't give up on your Luddite family members and neighbors. They're going to need your help as cash disappears, along with paper checks. Already more than 95% of tax returns are filed electronically, even if your accountant gives you a paper copy! You can't stave off the digital era of money, so you must learn to handle everything from Venmo and Paypal to credit and banking online, securely. If, by chance, you're a 20-something who happened to read this column in a newspaper (does that happen anymore?), it is your duty to drag your grandparents into the digital age. Do your duty. After all, an older person taught you how to drive a car! OK, here are my top 10 lessons for entering the digital financial era. 1. Practice safe digitalization. Do your important financial things only on your home computer. Make sure you access the internet securely. Have a computer expert (or your grandchild) install a secure Wi-Fi connection, complete with password so your neighbors can't snoop. 2. Practice secure connectivity. Every bank and financial institution requires two-factor authentication. That means if you sign on to its website, it will instantly text or email you a code to insert on the sign-in page. (Another good reason for texting!) And banks mean it when they say 'Do not share this code with anyone'! Too many seniors are defrauded when they share this code with a fraudster over the phone. 3. Don't use your phone in public places to access private financial information. No matter who asks you to just 'check your bank balance' or 'confirm that your account is secure' — don't go online in Starbucks or outside your bank to access your account! The 'air' is insecure! 4. Protect your passwords. Yes, it's difficult to remember all those passwords — but that's no excuse for using the same one everywhere! Instead, your younger tech expert will help you get a 'password vault' — such as Dashlane or NordPass to securely generate strong passwords and safely keep track of them, auto-filling them when you go to a website. Now you only have one password to remember — the overall password to your vault. Never give it out! 5. Secure your cellphone. I've written about this before. Scammers have developed new sophisticated strategies to 'clone' your SIM card — the inner workings of your phone — allowing them to divert those two-factor text authorization messages. Ask your phone company to provide a separate password for your SIM card. That means every time you turn on the phone you need to insert not only your phone password, but the sim card password. 6. Be careful where you use your card and PIN. Don't take cash from an ATM in the grocery store unless it is an ATM provided by your bank. Keep one card for use at gas stations, where you're more likely to be a victim of skimming through devices inserted in the card slot. Reserve one card for your online purchases. 7. Use the new technology on your card. Now, instead of using the keypad to insert your PIN where someone can watch over your shoulder, just tap your card on the reader when you make a purchase. Then put the card away quickly in your RFID-protected wallet. 8. Track your bank and credit card accounts online at least weekly, from your secure Wi-Fi connection at home. You're looking for balances and unexpected charges. Call your bank or card issuer immediately if you find something suspicious. And please remember to close the browser window that accesses your bank account when you've finished looking at it! 9. Track your credit score even if you're not planning to make a large purchase or buy insurance. Changes can mean someone else is accessing your credit to borrow money. Your bank or card issuer probably offers credit score checks for free. Or sign up at Check in only on your home computer. 10. Freeze your credit at all three bureaus, by going to Then remember the PIN you created to access your credit report! There is no cost to freeze, and you can temporarily unfreeze at any time if applying for a loan or insurance. Bottom line: You can't escape the digital financial era! Your best route is to understand it, use it safely, and to your advantage. That's The Savage Truth.

Apple's WWDC touts biggest software changes in years but lacks splashy AI reveal
Apple (AAPL) on Monday announced sweeping changes to its product ecosystems, including a wide-ranging revamp of its iOS operating system for its iPhones, as well as the software that powers its iPads and Macs. The updates, which the company debuted as part of its WWDC developer event held at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., mark the biggest shift in Apple's software design in years. Still, the improvements were light on new AI capabilities at a time when Wall Street is looking for Apple to prove it can compete in the space. Apple calls its new design Liquid Glass and says it will include a translucent look that makes the software feel more responsive across the company's hardware lines. Apple has also updated the naming scheme of its operating systems, changing their designation from the order in which they were released to the year they'll largely be in use. So instead of iOS 19, the latest version is called iOS 26, since the software will be available throughout 2026. Yes, it'll launch in fall 2025 along with the next-generation iPhone, but let's not split hairs. Apple's iOS 26 gets Liquid Glass's new customizable views for the lock screen and home screen. Apple also says notifications will now adjust to your lock screen photo so that they don't block the subject of your image. The Safari, Camera, and CarPlay apps also get Liquid Glass's new look. Safari now extends webpage content all the way to the edge of your iPhone's display, shrinking the address bar as you scroll through content. Apple designed the updated Camera app to make it easier to quickly access the video or photo options while keeping advanced features readily available. CarPlay features new widgets that allow you to get quick information like the weather outlook on your car's home screen. The new Phone app displays will now show things like recent calls and voicemail summaries on the same screen. A new call screening feature will ask unknown callers their name and explain why they're calling and then send you an alert, allowing you to decide if you want to answer or not. The Phone app can also detect when you're on hold by listening for hold music and alerting you when the other person picks up again. Messages gets a new look that lets you change the background of your chat and gives you the ability to add polls into a conversation. Apple Intelligence will also suggest polls if you ask a group chat question. Phone, Messages, and FaceTime also get live translation via Apple Intelligence, including the ability to translate what a speaker is saying and then mimic their voice in the translated language. Apple's new Games app serves as a hub for its gaming ambitions, giving you the option to save favorite games, jump into multiplayer games, and compete in challenges against other players. Finally, Apple says you can now use Visual Intelligence to search for content on your screen. Take a screenshot of a jacket you like, and Visual Intelligence will search for similar jackets on the web. Capture a screenshot of a concert poster, and Visual Intelligence will suggest that you create a calendar event for it. Apple's iPadOS 26 gets new multitasking capabilities that should improve the tablet's productivity chops. You'll now have the ability to resize app windows and move them around the screen where you want. It makes the iPad a far more capable productivity machine, something that Apple has been working toward for years. There's even a disappearing menu bar at the top of the iPad screen that gives you access to files and other important features. Apple has been moving the iPad closer to the Mac throughout the years by improving its performance capabilities with more powerful chips. But the company has always held back on the software side of things. Apple also says its iPads will now be able to run background tasks. So if you're exporting a file in one app and switch to a different one, your file will still continue to export. The updates finally make the iPad feel more like a true laptop replacement. But exactly what that means for the company's MacBook sales remains to be seen. Speaking of which, macOS gets some big updates, as well. The latest software for Apple's desktops and laptops brings along similar styling to the rest of the software lineup, with sleek, glass-like designs for tabs and windows. Dubbed macOS Tahoe, the upgrade includes an improved Spotlight Search and access to Apple's new Games app. Apple's watchOS now includes an Apple Intelligence-powered workout buddy feature designed to help inspire you to keep pushing yourself with audible motivational shoutouts. You can also now silence incoming calls and alarms by flicking your wrist up. While Apple showed off a handful of new features for its Apple Intelligence platform, it's unlikely to quell fears that the company is falling behind the likes of Microsoft and Google in the rapidly evolving space. If Apple is going to prove it has what it takes to fight back in the AI wars, it will need to make some splashy announcements when it debuts its next iPhone later this fall.
