A very serious cheater used to be able to cover their tracks and anything short of following them would probably let them get away with it. But these days, we carry microphones and trackers in our pockets.
For example, one woman went viral after sharing how she discovered her boyfriend was cheating because she got a notification from her smart scale. This prompted hundreds of users to share their own tales in the comments section, which we’ve gathered here for your reading enjoyment.

An orange cat sniffing a white automatic pet feeder next to a water dispenser. Smart scale stories often go viral. My sister found out because she had an automatic cat feeder with video and audio on it and she checked on the cats when he was talking to his friend about it in their apartment

    A woman's hands with manicured nails tapping on a smartphone, representing the use of a smart scale to catch cheating. I caught mine when he called from work and asked me to go in his email to print off his vaccine passport. While I was doing that, another email came in from Virgin Wireless saying his phone bill was overdue. (We were with Koodo). Better yet, I clicked on the link and it showed me his bill and the 90 plus calls to the same number - one I knew well because she was my friend.

    Does that mean he was actively using it? Or maybe just forgot about it? Some people are bad about cleaning up auto payments for stuff they don't use.

    Imagine joining yours on a business trip, only for the hotel's concierge to ask if "this lady would like the usual as well" 🫩 I could have k*lled him on the spot. Except he was cheating on his affair partner so, meh.

    A cat looking into a camera with its paw extended, another cat on a bed, and a smart scale. My ex wasn’t answering his phone while I was out of town and suddenly the pet camera was offline. And when I got home the front porch light bulb was replaced after I had been asking about it for about a month… neighbors confirmed for me. lol.

    A bearded man in a suit laughs while talking on his phone, resembling someone sharing a story about catching BF cheating. For the first time in 8 years together I get a notification text from our Cel phone provider saying we've gone over our minutes/texts limit. I log into our account to check the logs and there's multiple calls and texts to the same number on my then husband's line.
